Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[Desert]

• Pakistan is bankrupt and lives loan to loan
• Turkey’s currency is worthless like toliet paper
• Saudi Arabia’s entire income comes from a product Iran can readily destroy in the country.

You think Saudi Arabia can prop up itself and 2 other countries economically during a war? Doubtful.

Saudi’s interest is growing economically and staying away from war. It doesn’t want to be entangled in war and be destroyed like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya.

MBS would be committing a big mistake by trying to get into a war with Iran when Israel/US with all their intel and firepower couldn’t overwhelm Iran then Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia won’t be able to either.

And people blame Egypt for not joining this crazy pact.
our economy can get easily destroyed by houthis drones on suez canal and other cities not to mention that israel awaits this moment.

Iraq will not be safe for saudi pipeline for obvious reason. Jordan is more suitable.

Iraq will need to build its own pipes to circumvent the Straits of Hormuz, so there is opportunity to share the costs there for both countries is my thinking. Lets see what they decide to do. I think we can all agree, that there will be change in the oil flow and different countries will make their "pitches" for the pipes to flow over their land, to get transit fee's from the oil transportation across their land.

This is the last change for Iran to extract the maximum value that the closure of the straits can offer as the value of the straits will decrease both as green energy comes on line more forcefully and alternate land routes are built where possible.

Additionally, one of the best options to Saudi to circumvent the straits is to work with Oman to allow both oil to transit their territory to a new port, for Saudi's Asian customers. That way Oman can benefit both from fees on the straits and direct transit fees from Saudi.

One of my concerns with this pact is that these countries will go to war with Iran before they go to war with Israel.

Turkey is the one of the big trade partner with israil, also supplies oil. Why would they go to war with israil? With puting forward the scope of NATO alliance, they are more like strategic partners.

As far as Pakistan is concerned, so far Israil has no direct threat from Pakistan and viseversa.

Either Israel diversifies away from those pipelines over Türkiye or they accept that Türkiye will have control over their energy flows in the event of a conflict with Israel where Türkiye will turn off those pipes.

Israeli is imperialistic. They might end up in a war with them over syria. Israel also wanted to bomb Pakistan nuclear program with indian cooperation at some point.

Possibly Saudi would prefer to make other two countries join against Yemen campaign at first step.

Pakistan refused to join the Saudi led 2015 Yemen campaign and officially does not recognise Houthis as terror group. Turkiye also does not recognise Houthis as a terror group. The situation did not change much but only a fragile ceasefire that is somewhat broken now and all issues unresolved.

So it would contradict Pakistans previous refusal to join Yemen campaign in 2015. Also all of a sudden recognising houthis as terrorists etc and would again be somewhat illogical for Turkiye and Pakistan as well. So the issue is complicated for Saudi-Yemen conflict and logically the countries wont be involved in this conflict for the sake of Saudis want it or for financial benefits I think/hope

Where is the Iran-Oman Hormuz agreement that the MSM said was coming very soon?

Golan Heights had a major natural gas discovery. But Jew-lani won’t take back what is Syria’s and turn his country around.

There will never be such a conflict since Turkey doesn’t have the economy for such a conflict. Go look up how much gold Turkey had to sell this year to prop up its economy.

And Israel has other sources in case of emergency it can access oil and NG from (US). Turkey doesn’t have a whole lot of leverage against Israel in such circumstances. And NATO/US would not side with Turkey over Israel so Turkey would be left alone.

Is Pakistan then going to help attack Israel?
Is Saudi Arabia then going to help attack Israel? No. Support would likely be material and money.

Once Erodgan dies or is disposed (which ever comes first) it’s more likely you get a Turkish leader that is even MORE pro-west rather than someone that is anti West/Israel. In which case, it goes back to my previous point — Turkey will avoid conflict with Israel at all costs. It will have to be Israel that brings the conflict to Turkey

Guess the rest is in good hands for some reverse engineering

Houthis have so far avoided to hit Pakistan related ships and tankers going to and from Saudi Arabia.They have hit Indian related ships but not Pakistan related.
So far Pakistan has no reason to involve herself in war.
In case any strait is closed for Pakistan, Iran may be locked right in SoH because we have seen how easy it is to impose naval blockade on Iran.
SoH is a great weakness of Iran as exposed in current war against US where Iran has no room to maneuver outside this little strait.

I doubt houthis will ever attack Turkish or Pakistani related ships on bab al mandab strait. If that kind of thing happens it should be investigated well that it is not a false flag to drag us into this conflict.

Yemen has announced a blockade on Saudi ships in response to the illegal Saudi blockade on Yemen. There is no blockade on non-Saudi ships.

Iraqis decide Saudi Arabia killing 50 of their men doesn't require a response

 

[Irfan Baloch]

Saudis massacred dozens of Iraqis but apparently when they do the killing they are not escalating

We know what you are

Criticising Saudis is a hard sell in Pakistan, anyone doing this risks being called a Rafzi, Majusi or Irani Agent.
just like AIPAC drives the American politics and has its stamp on poltical, corporate, social commentary and even daily life... in Pakistan, the Saudi lobby has spent a lot of money to drive politics and religion, our madrassahs specially the Deobandi madrassahs are funded by the gulf states and the relgious leaders that run them openly brag about it.

the involvement of Saudi funding drives our social commentary when it comes to sectariansim and foreign relations. we have innocent and simpleton Pakistanis (I am using these terms for decency ).. who will drink the water the Saudi royal family has washed their feet from.... we Pakistanis confuse the Saudis with the Sahabah of the Holy Prophet PBUH.. and we try to please them one way or another but due to some miricle, we have not turned into Iraq, Syria Sudan and Lybia despite the Gulf funding of sectarian terrorists and extremist relgious organisations.

but you will see unhinged comments on other social media platforms where accounts with Pakistani thumbnails and DP's are bad mouthing Iran and wishing it to turn into rubble and cursing our leadership for "betaying" the head chopping Taliban.
but thankfully UAE has made the job a bit easier for us now. all these defence deals with Gulf state are as meaningful as the UNSC resolutions for Palestine and Kashmir. At most they will let our retiring generals live there a happy life.

we resisted the saudis even during Gen Zia time who refused to take sides against Iran so I pray we never get invovled and become hostile to Iran for the sake of GCC countries.
