A detailed summary of a piece arguing that Pakistan was among the few nations to openly support Iran, while Iran under Ali Khamenei has repeatedly signaled alignment with India—granting India access to the Chabahar Port, reportedly conducting airstrikes inside Pakistani territory, and taking Kashmir positions that contradict Pakistan's stance. The text notes international pressure and sanctions on Pakistan over allegations that its nuclear scientists provided technology to Iran, describing those actions as not representing state policy. It warns of potential spillover effects if Iran's leadership becomes unstable, including sectarian tensions and illicit financial flows, with early signs seen in Karachi where Iran-linked sectarian militant groups have been involved in violent activities, including attacks targeting the US Embassy. The article concludes that Pakistan must remain vigilant and act strictly in accordance with its national interests in dealings with Iran.
