The conflict is still ongoing, yet I completely believe that if IRI manages to survive this war in a meaningfull way, the Iranian foreign policy regarding Pakistan, Turkey and the entire region will undergo a substantial transformation.
I am convinced that the decision-makers in Tehran have realized that having just ONE reliable state actor in the region as an ally could have altered EVERYTHING about this war.
I mean Saudi Arabia turning towards Turkey and Pakistan right now is not just a coincidence.
The first crisis to prove this theory was the conflict between India and Pakistan in 2025.
It has perfectly demonstrated the importance of having reliable support from state actors like China and Turkey. Although the Indians would never openly acknowledge it, they were aware that China and Turkey would fully back Pakistan in the event of a war. The Iranian War on the other hand serves as a cautionary tale of a nation lacking this type of state support. Having one middle-sized country as a strong ally is more valuable than all the proxies in the ME put together.
It's understandable that the Saudis, Sudanese, Somalis, and Egyptians are running to Ankara and Islamabad. Can't wait for this useless war to end and to hopefully open a new page in our relationship with Iran.
Tonight I am an optimist.
