Brother everything is not weighed in wealth. Making peace for our Muslim neighbours is also a duty. And yes it MIGHT ease the pain of economic woes for Pakistan.
If the sanctions are lifted from Iran
1. Pakistan can build Iran Pakistan Gas Pipeline which will not only help all our industries run efficiently with continuous gas supply but it may also reduce our Circular Debt.
2. We can legally import oil at a discounted prices and the delivery time would be cut short by 70% saving us on huge marine logistical cost.
3. Irans’ manufacturing sector is much more advanced than our in certain sectors and we can do a Transfer of Technology TOT agreements benefitting Pakistan in cheaper products.
4. After sanctions are lifted then Iran’s GDP will double to $1 trillion dollars within the first year and they can rebuild their Airforce buying our JF17 and hiring our Airforce to rebuild theirs as consultants.
5. So many edibles that Pakistanis use are at 30 to 40% of production cost in Iran that we can import.
For a much detailed look you can scroll down and see my in-depth article on the economic benefits that Pakistan can derive from Iran in services, manufacturing, agriculture and defence.
Hope this answer suffices.
I saw this….opened it - intending to be mildly irritated by what I expected to be the author’s doubling down on his stance. But @DanQayyum has nailed it again….somehow, deftly navigating this serious matter (and reading between the lines…Lahore does come out on top)😀
