It's time for Pakistan to seriously consider a growing two-front threat once again because direct attacks on Iran are pretty much same as when NATO was deployed in Afghanistan for 20-years and the policy of "front line state for war on terror" was imposed on us at our own expense.
We managed to somehow survive that using whatever ploy and means available at our disposal (good Taliban, bad Taliban), we'll have to prepare for something similar again.
It's obvious arming Iran on our Western front with Chinese war machinery is the dire need of the hour and something urgent needs to happen.
Maybe we can ask China for help and support on our Eastern front with clandestine aerial and naval Chinese deployments in Pakistan and at the same time, China also amassing troops against the Indian borde to keep India in check.
If the threat on our Eastern front can be mitigated, we can get heavily militarily involved with Iran
If Iran decides to acquire Chinese military equipment,
- Pakistan can teach Iran all the tactics it has learnt on how to best utilise Chinese equipment from the hostilities it has had with India,
- Both countries can setup and share a large scale military industrial base for Chinese equipment, something that Iran can lead from its own experience,
- Work on interoperability between both militaries through regular exercises,
- Sharing of intelligence, radar coverage,
- Heavy deployment and integration of air defences, covering areas well beyond their own territories,
- Heavy military tri-lateralism between Pakistan-Afghanistan-Iran, and further expanded military cohesion with Turkiye, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan.
If we can get the ball rolling, we can come up with and adapt new strategies and tactics, concentrate on our weaknesses and utilise each other's resources.
