    Since when was Iran close to Pakistani border? someone needs to take Geography lessons.

    • Pakistan and Iran have a long land border stretching from Sea of Oman in the south to the common Afghan border (Nimruz province) in the north. The border separates Iranian province of Sistan o Balochistan and the Pakistani province of Baluchistan.
