Stimulated instability in Af-Pak region Part-5 - Veterans Today | Military Foreign Affairs Policy Journal for Clandestine Services

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : Iran has its own reservations since it sees its influence in Afghanistan waning after the fall of Panjshir and Herat-based warlord Ismail Khan joining the Taliban.
39% : In the wake of the possibility of recommencement of drone war and air attacks by the US under the garb of counterterrorism, Russia, China, SCO, Pakistan and Iran should plan to put up a joint defence shield against the future air threat for the overall safety of this region.
35% : Pak-Afghan trade received a big setback in the last two decades since the bulk of the trade needs of Kabul were met by India, Iran and Central Asian States.
33% : While Pakistan's southern border and coastal belt requires increased vigilance, sudden heating up of the Azerbaijan front which is likely to pitch Iran against Turkey is a worrying development.
