Pakistan use to enjoy close relations with Iran during the Shah of Iran days. It all changed with Islamic revolution came in Iran. The Shia Irani mullahs do not like Sunni Pakistan. Therefore they rolled back the close relationship that our two countries use to enjoy.

Pakistan & Iran use to be so close that during the ’71 Pak-India war, Pakistan sent its 12 Priced Mirage IIIs to Iran for “safe-keeping.”

Iran is not an enemy of Pakistan, but Iran & Pakistan are not the best of friends either. Its stupid & sad for both Iran & Pakistan.

Note: Shia & Sunni are two major Islamic sects.

By the way, Huntington’s Clash of Civilisations makes a good bedtime story. Nothing more.
