If you don’t believe me, just research the relations between Pak and Iran for the last 30 years. They haven’t been exactly friendly. The Iranians are a BIG destabilizing factor in Pak, along with India and Saudi Arabia.

BIG? kindly elaborate on this. And what destabilization are you talking about? if its the broad term “terrorism” then the saudis and Zia are to be blamed.

@IceSoul

say it’s partly justified because everyone, except Pak is thinking about furthering their own goals. With India already on our doorstep, I’d rather not have the Iranians become strong too. Maintain the status quo. No need for more nuclear powers. You gotta look at it like this. Pakistan already has nuclear tech

How would Iran’s acquisition affect Pakistan? Iran is not a threat to Pakistan, its one to Israel. The whole debate is an exaggeration to maintain Israel’s hegemony in the middle east. Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons would in fact bring a strong stabilizing factor in the middle east, something which Israel and Americans would never want.
