    Knew it was a waste of time, no way were the Amerikkkans gonna agree to any of Iran’s main demands. I still don’t know if it was a stall tactic so the US can move more assets into the region and help Israel replenish interceptors.

    The one thing we do know is that Saudis activated their defence pact with Pakistan they signed few months ago, and Pakistan has already moved military assets to Saudi Arabia. Does this mean Pakistan will shoot down any Iranian drones and missiles that targets US assets and bases in Saudi Arabia?

      Even if they do, the US is still on a timer due to the shut down of the Strait. They may have bought themselves time to re-arm, but they also just brought themselves closer to the time that prices continue to increase which will only decrease domestic appetite for war. I expect more burned down warehouses.

      Unfortunately, as far as I can tell the Pakistani Army is owned by the USA. Imran Khan was trying to assert independence and sovereignty – pulling back from being a US base of operations against Afghanistan, trying to strengthen ties to Russia – so the Biden admin pressured the army to replace him with someone more compliant.
