As the episode of the abduction of the 5 Iranian border guards showed, #Irans #terrorism problem is almost entirely its internal one, so lashing out at #Pakistan wont help it. gandhara.rferl.org/content/pakistan-iran-sistan-balochistan/26648452.html That said, terrorism against Iran from out of Pakistani territory has risen somewhat since #NawazSharif came into power, giving rise to suspicions he is doing something nasty there on Saudi Arabias orders: atimes/atimes/Middle_East/MID-02-201014.html. We had posted about this latter article here: https://facebook/citizenawarenessprogram/posts/729360513786606 However, that still doesnt give Iran a license to react in such a childish manner given the many skeletons in its own closet. Whatever the Pakistani hand may or may not be in this matter, it is still an Iranian problem originating inside Iran. It is not Pakistans fault if the terrorist movements in Iran are turning sectarian and pledging allegiance to ISIS. And Iran must first keep its own hands clean of sponsoring terrorist groups like Sipah-e-Muhammad against Pakistan. Even after Jundullah was destroyed by means of joint cooperation with Pakistan, Iran should have learned that much. Iran needs to learn to take responsibility for its own problems and learn to solve them itself instead of raising tensions with a neighbor it greatly needs for help in curbing its terrorism problem. Terrorism in the #Balochistan region on both sides of the border threaten both countries, so Iran better pursue cooperation with Pakistan instead of only demanding action from Pakistan but never taking any itself on its own territory. And this better not be an angry reaction to Nawaz Sharifs unannounced cancellation of the Iranian gas pipeline project. It is quite incredible that the Iranian government does all of its grandstanding and tough-talking at Pakistan before its domestic audience and in media statements while shelling border villages and expressing mock diplomatic outrage but acts very cordially when directly engaging Pakistani officials. #DehatiAurat
