Abstract
Current state of relations between Iran and Pakistan is shown in the article. Coming to power of president E. Raisi, a representative of conservative elite in the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2021 and election of Shahbaz Sharif as a prime minister in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in 2022 increases attention to the subject. The article focuses on political relationship between the two countries. Special attention is paid to the situation in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of American troops in 2021 and its influence on the politics of Islamabad and Tehran. The author analyses problems on the Iran-Pakistan border, that divides Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchistan and Pakistani province of Baluchistan, that have great influence on the relations between the two countries. The present study notes that in spite of the shortage of power resources in Pakistan, economic cooperation with Iran, that can be a natural supplier of energy to Pakistan, is developing at a too low rate. Negative influence of US sanctions against Iran on economic relations with Pakistan is convincingly shown in the article. Based on the arguments raised in the article, it is obvious that they are of considerable importance for assessing the current situation in Iran Pakistan relations and prospects of their development.
