By "friendship" I think he means when, in the 70s, the Shah generally offered American-given combat aircrafts to Bhutto in order to silent the Baloch insurgency which would have, naturally, concerned Iran's own Sistan-Balochistan province.

Apart from that, Afghanistan became in the late 90s the playground of the Pakistan-Saudi Arabia romance (Talibans) against the Iranians (Northern Alliance.)

Exactly.

Iran has been causing a lot of trouble in Pakistan. And now when Iran is getting the squeeze, Pakistan suddenly becomes a close friend.

A better ally:

I would say it's Pakistan which has been under the squeeze not Iran. Pakistan is being bombed while it's only hyper rhetoric against Iran.

Relations have improved between both nations.

Had this been said a year ago, I would have believed that Pakistan can be the bridge between Shia's and Sunni's.
Now it just sounds like Iran is gathering troops for it's battle with Israel which may be inevitable.

[inzmam_fan]

Absolutely, i believe that turkey is a far better ally than iran as economically it is flourishing, whereas iran has economic sanctions on it. Also right now pakistan can not afford to enter
another war by becoming an ally of iran otherwise our country will not be able to bear more loss of capital.

[Lachrymose]

Politics. There's always a reason behind certain declarations!

[RWAC]

A move to get the Pakistani people, and more importantly, the Pakistani establishment and the military, on Iran's side in a potential conflict with Israel/America?

Friends indeed.

Pakistan has always been under the cosh. Relations have improved because Iran is feeling the squeeze.

I believe its July 1st when the oil sanctions come into effect. Pakistan should sit tight and drive a hard bargain with the Iranians. They are going to be needing Pakistan very soon.

[Badsha]

Iran feeling the squeeze I suppose.
