Was Pakistan’s attention diverted or did the tables turn? Understand that this ongoing tussle with Iran has a direct relation with the peace of Kashmir.

News India Live, Digital Desk: If anything is being discussed the most in international news in recent times, it is the increasing tension between Iran and Pakistan. The manner in which missiles have been fired between these two countries, which were once neighbors and were called ‘friends’ in name only, has attracted the attention of the whole world. But here a big question arises that will these difficulties of Pakistan make any difference to the situation in India and especially Kashmir?

Is this a real fight?
We do not need to be a great expert to understand this. The simple thing is that Pakistan has been struggling with extremism and economic crisis in its own country for a long time. At the same time, Iran, which considers itself the leader of the Shia Muslim world, was troubled by the terrorist activities taking place on its border. When the dam of patience broke, Iran entered Pakistan and targeted those bases which were a threat to their security. Pakistan also retaliated, but from here their new headache started.

What effect will this have on Kashmir?
Now here comes the real catch. For years, Pakistan’s entire emphasis, its entire army and its entire budget have been in only one direction—the border with India (LOC). Pakistan has always been trying to spread unrest through its Kashmir policy. But now his condition has become like ‘well in front and ditch behind’.

If the situation on the border with Iran worsens, Pakistan will have to deploy a large part of its army on its western border. Experts say that when a country opens a front with two of its neighbours, its strength gets divided.

Opportunity for India or just peace?
India has always wanted that infiltration on its border should stop and the youth of Kashmir should have work in their hands instead of guns. If Pakistan remains stuck in resolving its issues with Iran, it will become very difficult for it to encourage infiltrators in Kashmir or spread violence there. It will have to use its remaining economic and military power to save its own existence.

Aspect of Shia-Sunni conflict
There is also a religious angle in this whole controversy. Iran is a Shia majority country and Pakistan also has a sizeable population of Shia community. If Pakistan directly confronts Iran, it may create dissatisfaction within its own country i.e. within the country. In such a situation, the people of Kashmir are also able to see how Pakistan, which calls itself a sympathizer of Muslims, is embroiled in a war with Muslim countries.

In the end that’s all…
If seen, India’s policy is very clear, we do not seek our happiness in anyone’s fight, but we also do not compromise with our security. If Pakistan engages with Iran on its western border, it is certain that the mischief happening across the border in Kashmir will reduce. Its direct benefit will be to the people living there, who can enjoy a life of peace and tranquility after a long time.
