After the sudden death of Iran’s President Ibrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdullahyan in a helicopter accident, the question has arisen what will be the nature of Pakistan’s relationship with the new leadership that will emerge after the interim administration and the presidential elections?
Iranian Consul General Hasan Nooryan, the host of the condolence ceremony held at the Iranian Consulate in Karachi, and those who came to pay their respects answered this question with clarity.
What was said by those who came to condole was later mentioned that one of the important wishes of the Iranian president could not be fulfilled and that was that he would address public gatherings during his visit to Pakistan. Addressed the students and others, the hall echoed with slogans in his favor, according to the participants, he was the loudest and strongest voice of the Islamic world, which roared with full force against the Israeli atrocities on the Palestinians.
Muhammad Kamran Khan Tesuri, known as the People’s Governor of Sindh, was the first person to come to offer condolences. In the meeting with the Consul General, he talked about his visit to Iran and the recent visit of the Iranian delegation including President Ayatollah Syed Ibrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hussain Amir Abdul Hayan.

The face of Asifa Bhutto, who participated in the condolence ceremony, was probably also sad because in the recent visit of President Raisi of Iran, Asifa Bhutto was with the First Lady Dr. Jameela Al-Sadat Alamul Hadi Hayat, the main reason for staying with her from the reception to the farewell. Bhutto is supposed to be the First Lady of Pakistan as in that capacity she performs the duty of official host to every visiting First Lady.
It is a different matter that wherever Dr. Jameel Al-Sadat Alamul Hadi Hayat went, in most of these places, she used to start the ceremony with the recitation of Fatiha and the prayers of Eithal Thawab in memory of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. She used to tell the events and sometimes inform about the importance of her role as a woman in the Muslim world.
Her relationship with Asifa Bhutto was like that of mother and daughter, perhaps one of the reasons for this is the former First Lady Begum Nusrat Bhutto, the Begum of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who belonged to Iran, the woman who, except for a few moments of happiness, spent her entire life. Either she spent her life watching her husband endure the hardships of imprisonment, his execution, and then suffered the shock of the martyrdom of his sons Mir Shahnawaz Bhutto and Mir Murtaza Bhutto.
