Strategically not looking good for them, they sat this one out, that pissed off everyone bar Israel. UAE only looking at India due to the fact they managed to burn relations with the Saudis, Qataris and us.

India is a major power and economy yet for some reason always seems to make major diplomatic and strategic mistakes. Imagine being unwanted in both DC and Tehran. Munir has red carpet in both cities.....

They were lifting balls as they were hoping for an Israeli dominated Mid East, now that has not happened watch Modi try and desperately get meetings in Riyadh, Doho and Tehran.....

Good stuff, Saudi is a top ally.

Saudi and GCC should all openly thank Pakistan, for saving them a war they help start.
And I never understood why the Saudis and other Arab countries go against Tehran so much. It is clear that israel and the US are destroying the region.
