Abstract

Raising the question of how victory of Islamic revolution of Iran has influenced anti-Shiite violent actions in Pakistan and its growth, this article has proposed this hypothesis that incidents happening in Pakistan subsequent to the victory of Islamic revolution in Iran indicate that [global] arrogance decided to fight objectives of Islamic revolution and Shiite values in Pakistan through two pathways: first, building a rift between Shiites and Sunnis in Pakistan and widening sectarian disputes, second, conducting activities to hinder Iran's revolution from entering Pakistan.
