The latest Pakistani warning to Iran shows why Israel never trusted the US-Iran agreement—and why Western leaders must stop confusing diplomatic ceremonies with lasting alliances.
When President Donald Trump said Iran had never lost a negotiation, he may not have realized just how accurate that observation was.
The lesson is now being demonstrated by Pakistan. Just weeks ago, Pakistani and Iranian leaders were exchanging visits, warm words, handshakes, and embraces. Today, Islamabad is warning Tehran that any attack on Saudi Arabia—whether directly or through the Houthis—would cross a Pakistani red line.
Pakistan clearly threatens that a Houthi attack or Iranian on Saudi Arabia could activate its mutual defense commitments and drag Pakistani forces into the conflict.
