Bro but the problem is it's gonna prolong one way or another. US just want Iran to surrender completely and sign the so called MOU. That MOU is basically a instrument of surrender for Iran. Iran should never and will never surrender.I get the emotion behind wanting one side to completely defeat the other, but from Pakistan's perspective a long war is bad news no matter who comes out on top.
If the conflict spreads and Saudi Arabia gets pulled into a direct war with Iran, there is always the question of whether Riyadh will expect Pakistan to honor its longstanding, albeit deliberately vague, security understanding. Whether Pakistan agrees or not, just being put in that position creates a major strategic headache.
On the other hand, if Iran is severely weakened, or the US and Israel end up with a sustained military presence in southern Iran, especially around Bandar Abbas or Chabahar, we'll be left with instability right on our doorstep. We've seen enough in this region to know what that can mean: militant groups, smuggling networks, refugee flows, and all sorts of other problems that don't stay neatly on one side of the border.
For Pakistan, this isn't really about rooting for one side or the other. It's about recognizing that a prolonged US-Iran war could leave us dealing with the fallout for years, regardless of who claims victory.
Maybe that was precisely the reason Iran choose not to respond at this moment, because the other side is prepared.What point of wasting precious weapon on a ready enemy !?
