This trip should be considered one of the most importa diplomatic eves in rece mohs; A trip that we beyond the level of an official visit and brought importa security, political and strategic messages for the region, especially South Asia. This trip was carried out in coinuation of the rece trips of the Preside of Iran, Masoud Bakhchiyan, and Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliame, to Pakistan. A series of coordinated and purposeful movemes that clearly show that Pakistan has a special and strategic position in Tehran’s foreign policy.
Larijani’s presence in Islamabad and meeting with the highest Pakistani officials, such as the prime minister and the preside to the army commander, shows Iran’s determination to open a new chapter in relations with a coury whose role in the future of regional security is undeniable.
Pakistan; An importa eastern neighbor
Pakistan is not only an eastern neighbor for Iran; Rather, it is one of the most importa players in the Islamic world and a connecting link between South Asia, Afghanistan and the Indian Ocean. The geopolitical position and political and security capacities of Pakistan have made this coury Iran’s natural partner in shaping regional stability.
The challenges in the surrounding environme of Islamabad, from the complex situation of Afghanistan to the historical competition with India, are not an obstacle, but an opportunity to strengthen joi cooperation and Iran’s constructive role in reducing tensions and strengthening regional peace.
In his meetings, Larijani clearly stated that Iran considers Pakistan “valuable and strategic” and that Tehran is ready to play a more active role to help solve the complex challenges between Islamabad, Kabul and New Delhi. His use of the phrase “white check” to help Pakistan shows the real strength and power of Iran in managing and influencing the developmes in the region.
Appreciation for the support of the Pakistani nation in the 12-day war
One of the highlights of this trip was Larijani’s meeting with scholars, elites and religious figures of Pakistan. The Supreme Leader of the Revolution’s warm greetings to the people of Pakistan met with an unprecedeed reception from the people, official media and social networks of this coury.
Larijani also appreciated the broad support of Shia and Sunni and Pakistani elites to Iran in the 12-day war. This level of cooperation showed that Iran’s soft power and social influence in Pakistan is deep-rooted, beyond the political borders of the states and based on historical, cultural and religious ties.
This social support can provide a reliable platform for strengthening the cultural, religious and social cooperation between the two couries and as a strategic investme in strengthening relations. Tehran-Islamabad be used
energy diplomacy; Iran’s poteial power and Pakistan’s strategic need
Gas pipeline Iran-Pakistan which has been stopped for years due to foreign pressure on Pakistan, was an importa focus in Larijani’s speech. Emphasizing that “if there were no obstacles, the people of Pakistan would be using Iran’s gas now”, he made the role of foreign factors in depriving Pakistan of a stable source of energy more obvious.
At a time when Pakistan is facing an unprecedeed energy crisis, Iran, as one of the great energy powers of the world, is considered the coury’s most natural partner. If the obstacles and external pressures on Pakistan are reduced, we can expect energy cooperation to become the main pillar of the strategic relationship Tehran-Islamabad become
Iran and Pakistan; Security convergence for a more sustainable future
Larijani’s meeting with the commander of the Pakistani army was another importa axis of this trip. Pakistan is a coury where the military plays a decisive role in foreign and security policy. The direct dialogues of the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council with this institution are importa because Tehran is seeking to create a new model of security and border cooperation; A model that can corol border threats, deal with extremist terrorist groups and strengthen sustainable security.
In the meaime, Iran’s strength and experience in managing regional crises has made Tehran a reliable actor to create stability in the surrounding environme.
Iran; A power that can organize peace in the region
Due to its geopolitical position, simultaneous connection with India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, and long experience in crisis manageme and regional mediation, Iran is one of the few couries that is able to play an active and decisive role in establishing regional peace.
Larijani’s visit showed that Tehran is not only aware of this capacity, but also has the necessary will to use this power. The coinuation of this approach can increase the weight of Iran in South Asian equations and coribute to the stability of the region.
final word
Larijani’s trip should be considered a turning poi in Iran-Pakistan relations; The trip, which followed the trips of the doctors and carpet weavers, to convey a clear message: Pakistan is importa to Iran, and Iran is ready to play a stronger and more active role in the security and peace of the region.
Considering the security, political, cultural and energy messages of this trip, we can expect that the relations between the two couries will eer a new phase; A stage in which Tehran and Islamabad will not only be two neighboring partners, but also two decisive actors in shaping the future of South Asia.
