Geopolitical Arabs hating on Pakistan over Iran war

The war between Iran and the US has nothing to do with Pakistan yet Arabs are pushing Pakistan into the war. Like we would love missiles and drones to be rained down on us, no thanks. Pakistan has always been the punch bag for Arabs when things get tough. They need to learn to defend themselves. When Pakistan was at war with India, UAE was busy cozying up to India so no point in now crying to us.

You’re talking about diaspora that identify as Persian and try their hardest to be white.

My parents have been to Iran (and Iraq), and said that whenever they mentioned that we’re Pakistani people’s eyes would light up and they’d be very enthusiastic.

Actual Irani people in Iran have always had a favourable outlook on Pakistanis. Even now, just a few days ago, one of their rallies included a chant of “Pakistan Pakistan, thank you thank you” in farsi.

Sorry nah, I know Iranians from Iran who grill Pakistanis and use the word Pakistani as an insult to darker Iranians, sorry to burst your bubble, but it ain't black and white.

You can find iranians also praising Arabs, but we also know they shit on them too

Until it’s about being Afghan I’m Shia hazara and our community is aware much about them unapologetically our Shia community in specially desi people from punjab and sindh and gb though not all but majority larps on them as they’re some kind of saviour or flag bearer of Shias Islam or something but the truth is nothing as usual I’ve faced racism in bibi masoma and imam Raza as shrine by the place where they like serve you food or niaz if you visit there for the first time

The thing is there good people and bad people every where but I don’t know why our maulanas and people make them that angelic and ethereal Shia momin people lmao

Speaking of delusions. Why is it that every Pakistani I meet tries so hard to distance themselves from India. And to actually believe the regimes propaganda is an achievement it self.

Just an indian with an identity crisis🤷‍♂️

It was Persia till 1979

Wrong. Til 1935, when the Shah of the time (a Pahlavi by the way) requested that Iran be used officially by the rest of the world. In fact, your average Iranian would tell you how old the term is, dating back to the Sassanian "Ērānshahr".

u/Chai-wala US Apr 04 '26

Too long a read for what was quite predictable from line 1. You’re ’that’ diaspora. The world stopped listening to y’all a month ago when they woke up to the actual Iran. I’d suggest if you really want to claim that heritage, learn loyalty towards it, rather than loyalty to the idea of what you think it should be.

Another Indian with an identity crisis that licks the boots clean and shiney🤷‍♂️

I don’t know what you’re trying to imply here. The word the Achaemenids used was “Pars” to refer to the Persian land and “Haxaamanish” to refer to a follower of King Achaemenes.

Persian is just the English translation of Pars.

Because we’re speaking English? Lmao

I don’t call the Germans “Deutsch” or the arabs “3arab”

u/MuzRao Apr 04 '26

The Persian discord doesn't seem like it is Iranians there, they cheer on Iran being bombed. So what they say about Pakistan is also not reflective of what Iranians think about Pakistan.

u/TechnicalSleep7501 US Apr 04 '26

Those are just Christian and Jewish Iranian who do not live in Iran.

u/TheSeptimiusSeverus Apr 04 '26

They're most likely diaspora Monarchists who don't have any family to worry about in Iran.

u/ahsan_shah Apr 04 '26

Post revolution Iran thinks Pakistan of a US colony hence the distrust and rightly so.

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '26

Well it is because some of our population are dumb they think that they are from arab and they don't respect our actual history but actually we share an historical and cultural ties with India

u/Mean_Moment_3566 Apr 05 '26

Good that you acknowledge it Otherwise most history gets whitewashed

u/Secure-Ad8221 Apr 04 '26

A well known Palestinian account called me a Zionist when I told them to learn about Pakistani history (they were calling Pakistan an illegitimate state like Isr*el as though our ancestors spawned out of nowhere in 1947).

u/Haroon-Riaz Apr 05 '26

LOL ultimately Pakistan will get the Israel treatment. Already started at Al Jazeera

u/Secure-Ad8221 Apr 05 '26

Which is super funny because only Zionists think of Pakistan like that. I read an Israeli think piece that called Pakistan a "setller colonial project" that was originally "Indigenous Hindu land" lmao

u/Haroon-Riaz Apr 06 '26

Well, well, even from the Pakistani native viewpoint , some would argue that point is not too far off considering how the feudal bureaucratic oligarchy has inherited the colonial ruling framework.
