The Power of Pakistan and China Forces Trump to Reconsider
The Middle East stands once again at the edge of a historic rupture. With strategic dominance over the Strait of Hormuz, Iran holds a card that few nations possess — the power to halt a significant portion of the world’s oil flow. Any military strike against such a nation wouldn’t just trigger a regional conflict but could plunge global markets into chaos.
Pakistan, on the other hand, has delivered a clear and stern warning to the United States. Their message is loud: if this escalation continues, Islamic nations, including Pakistan itself, may be the next targets. This isn’t just diplomatic rhetoric — it’s the early signal of a potential geopolitical realignment.
Meanwhile, Israel’s capacity for a full-scale ground invasion into Iran remains limited. Air strikes alone cannot penetrate the complex and mountainous geography of Iran in any sustainable or strategic way. A long-term offensive appears logistically and militarily unrealistic for now.
Perhaps the most telling development is that both Iran and Israel have authorized exit permits for all foreign diplomats until Friday. This suggests one thing clearly: no major military action is expected before then. The world is watching a ticking clock.
In the background, all eyes are now on the White House. Trump doesn’t just face the Iran dilemma — he must weigh the implications of antagonizing two nuclear powers: China and Pakistan. The wrong move could shift the course of history permanently.
