Re: Sunni And Shia Muslims are brothers...
What if i prove you that iran provided his land to attack on pakistan in the war? what would you think then? just say yes or no and i will prove you this howz that
OK, go on then.
Note however that I am not interested in what happened in 2000, 2003, 2006 or any other year since the war in 1971.
I want you to show proof that Iran provided access to India in order to attack Pakistan in 1971.

Re: Sunni And Shia Muslims are brothers...
Regarding Iran's nuclear situation in the UN, India must sooner or later come to a strategic final decision. On the one hand, Iran and India are natural allies against a potential confrontation with Pakistan. The Pakistan-Iran split surfaced during Pakistan's fullfledged support of the Taliban in Afghanistan. [1] And despite the sale of centrifuges to Iran by A.Q. Khan, Pakistan denies it had anything to do with the technology transfer, implying that Khan acted alone, not to mention that the sale in no way signifies any strategic pact between the two. During a presidential visit by Iran to India, a report surfaced in which India was to gain access to Iranian airfileds, should there be a breakout of tensions against Pakistan.
The above is from Wikipaedia, what is it worth?
and:
According to Indian Defence Ministry spokesman, Pradipto Bandopadhyay, “Defence cooperation with Iran is part of India’s efforts to boost military exports to the Middle East, and Iran is very important for us in view of the geopolitics of the Middle East.”69
With respect to arms sale to Iran, an important meeting was held in March 2001, between Indian Defence Secretary and his Iranian counterpart.70 Iran and India held the first-ever strategic dialogue on October 16, 2001, focusing on regional and international security matters.71 The discussions also covered the security and defence policies of the two countries. Earlier, the Iranian Defence Minister had said on the eve of Indian Prime Minister’s visit to Tehran in April 2001, that military cooperation between Iran and India was “a must.”72
The most important breakthrough in Indo-Iranian defence cooperation, however, was achieved on January 19, 2003, when the India-Iran Defence Cooperation Agreement was signed in Tehran. The Iranian Defence Attache in India, Brig General Ali Motaghi called the agreement a milestone in defence ties between the two countries, and declared, “We need India’s help in all military aspects.”73 The defence agreement envisaged, inter alia, Indian support for the construction of warship repair facilities at Iran’s new port at Chahbahar, stationing of Indian aeronautical engineers at Iranian military bases to maintain and provide mid-life upgrades for Iran’s MIG-29 fighters, and sending Indian engineers to Iran to refit and maintain T-72 tanks.74
India and Iran held joint naval exercises in March 2003.75 Iran is also reported to have sought India's help to service it's naval and air force equipment and in developing batteries for its submarines, which are more suitable for the warm waters of the Gulf than those supplied by Russia
What has any of this got do with the '71 war???
Re: Sunni And Shia Muslims are brothers…
From the article which khaneh c&p’d in post 14 in this thread:
** Iran, which was Pakistan’s strategic depth in the 1965 and 1971 wars, is now boosting its relations with India and seems prepared to allow India access to its bases with potentially hostile intent towards Pakistan.**
Granted it looks like Iran may in the future, according to the author who is a Pakistani, allow access to India
**BUT
the same author has clearly stated that Iran was providing Pakistan with strategic depth in both '65 AND '71.**
Let me repeat that this is from the same article which you have quoted above.
Err… what can I say except that your contention seems just a tad dubious in the light of the above.

Re: Sunni And Shia Muslims are brothers...
I dont know why people are still bringing in the policies "countries" into the thread. Just look at the name of the thread and see whether it is relevant to talk on the "politics" or "country politics" in this thread?
It is quite stupid to think that since India is Pakistan's enemy, hence it has to be the enemy of Iran or any other country!! Iran has had good relations with India (untill India voted against Iran in UN), but on the other hand India has extremely good relations with Israel which is the stuanch enemy of Iran, so such adjustments happen between the countires. I dont why why we are discussing these things in this thread.

Bro it is simply poorly disguised shia-bashing!
You can see from the articles posted that khaneh either did not bother to check the details of what he/she was posting and simply grabbed at an opportunity to bash Iran, for this read shias, or, worst case, there was a deliberate attempt to mislead us in order to bash Iran/shias.
BTW Dammned good point about India and Israel!
Re: Sunni And Shia Muslims are brothers...
My dear brothers and sisters, thankyou all for your valuable input. However, the thread has run out of substance and I can see the debate deviating from its original course. I would not like this spirit of bonhomie pervading the thread to take on an ugly course, hence I am closing the thread.
Kindly, start a new thread if you have something interesting to share or if you would like to ask something from your fellow guppies.
Gracias.
