Iranians are arrogant and refused to play the game
That's why none of their allys are showing up
After the war they need to go back to the drawing board and make peace with Gulf Arabs or else forget pak even China wouldn't help
They'll be isolated
It all goes back to how no one wants to piss of Gulf Arabs not the Chinese, not the Russian nor Pakos although since we're islamist we'll have some sensitivities but at the end of the day you have to play the game
You're not living in an island
My older post
""IF" the government in Iran survives, they need to have some serious trust-building exercises with GCC arabs
Because I feel China is a bit hesitant to provide serious weaponry to Iran as they still want a good relationship with GCC Arabs and they feel that if they arm the current Iranian government in any meaningful way it might piss of GCC arabs to such an extent that they won't be able to make inroads with the Gulf monarchies for the foreseeable future
They don't want that risk
And a lot of people are talking about building up Iran's nuclear program, well as long as GCC arabs are against it Iran wont be able to make its nuclear weapons in peace where they'll provide full support to israeli, American bombings
Hell I think with our saudi pact, someday god forbid, and I say that very seriously, as it'd be very counterproductive for the region
Even we might have to get involved on the wrong side at least passively.
When the war is over its essential for Iran to have a better relationship with GCC arabs or else itll be more of the same for Iran as far as its isolation is concerned."
