Doc, I believe in judging regimes based on their actions, not just their religious or ideological labels. The Pehlavi era had its flaws, but under it, Iran was a stable, and rapidly modernizing nation with strong global ties. Today, the IRI’s policies whether crushing dissent at home, fueling conflicts abroad, or mismanaging the economy have brought immense suffering to ordinary Iranians.Really surprised to hear a Muslim Pakistani say that.
My criticism isn’t about religion; it’s about the regime’s oppressive governance and reckless foreign policy. And let’s be honest whatever limited support Pakistan maintains for Iran is purely out of strategic necessity, not admiration. Since the Revolution, Iran has been hostile to Pakistan, whether through backing Baloch insurgents, fueling violence in Karachi in the 1990s, or cozying up to India at our expense. Many Pakistanis see this clearly, just as many Iranians despise their own regime’s failures.
Anyways, we are venturing far off topic now.
