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

[Musings]

Yesterday saw a sensible anti war Israeli analyst Daniel Levy saying that Israel tried to bring India to the Middle East through IMEC (India Middle East Europe Corridor) via the UAE but instead this war on Iran has brought Pakistan into the Middle East.

Pakistan was supposedly be pushed into the sidelined and black balled by the world according to Indian channels. They forgot that Pakistan has a border with Iran and it has managed to be the conduit between all parties involved...........

India's strategic involvement in Mid East is over

Two things led to this

1) May 7th 2025
2) Playing no role at all in US-Iran

Everyone just sees them now as a big oil and consumer market

You forget the open support of a nation committing genocide - the cringe worthy India is motherland and Israel is fatherland speech.
Indias naivity and lack of diplomacy is a shining through.
Lets hope Iran hasnt forgotten.

The Emiratis are still campaigning against Iran and Saudi Arabia. They need to be put in their place.

Yeah, that part did not need to be stated. In all honesty it is bizarre how they have acted

Did not criticise the initial US attack when even NATO countries did
No condelences on death of their leaders (signed an embassy book days later)
No protest at sinking of Iranian ship shortly after leaving India


In return and as thanks US military took pot shots at their ships and killed their sailors and nit a word from India

All in all very very bizarre handling of the whole situation.

I had been uncomfortable about Pakistan getting too much into the Middle Eastern geopolitics. For decades, it has been perhaps the most volatile and violent region on Earth, stretching from Iran to almost the western north Africa. But along with the Anglo sphere and Europe money also lies in the Middle East. Big, easy money. And Pakistan can't wish away its geography and civilizational ties with the Middle East. So Pakistan should embrace what its geography dictates and go into the fray. The risks are big but so are the rewards. Already several Pakistani analysts are salivating over the potential big benefits resulting from lifting of sanctions on Iran and Pakistan's growing importance in the Arab world.

Yes, when you look at things this way, it seems the last few months have made Pakistan much more part of the Middle East then of Asia in many many aspects

i think its destiny. if you time travel ton past and tell that to people in 2022-23 . they wnt believe a single word which is happening now.

Oil prices are almost back to pre-war numbers and are still falling further.

WTI crude: $69.5
Brent crude: $72.68

People who said that oil prices would remain high for months or years after the war seem to have been wrong. This isn't good for Iran.

Camel riders still believing they can isolate iran ? Good. Let's accelerate a bit the downing of the U.A.E

UAE tries to be Israel and Singapore at the same time

Their demise awaits
