Another consequence of this war between US- Israel and Iran is that it has without doubt , confirmed which country- Iran, is the hegemon of the Persian gulf region, and it will have huge ramifications for the region, because all this while, China and Russia(and a few other global powers like India and Turkey) have been managing their relationships (and related strategies) with the Persian gulf states under the assumption that there is no clear regional hegemon, but this war has cleared any doubts about that now, which means that global powers will not treat Persian gulf states the same anymore,because there is a BOSS country in the region and it's interests and perspectives now have to be factored into all relationships,decisions and actions related to the Persian gulf. Pakistani troops and equipment being shipped quickly to KSA might also be a by product of this newly (but inconveniently)established reality in the region. Pakistan brokering peace between iran and US might also be a function of this new reality also(it reflects an acceptance that iran is who matters in the persian gulf, not gcc with all their money, non existent military capabilities and warped interpretation of islam).
