Pakistan has hinted at activating the Pakistan- Saudi Defence Pact that was signed on September 17, 2025. There is talk on Chinese origin Pakistani AD systems being placed in Saudi Arabia, most notably the LY-80, Anza and FM-90 series.

Pakistani junta leader and de facto top dog Asim Munir is in Saudi Arabia to discuss the security situation in the Gulf. Pakistan recently signed a Defence Pact with Saudi Arabia and both sides have earlier implied that in the case of continued Iranian attacks the Pact could be activated.

The Saudis have been extremely patient with Iran and have consistently chosen restraintful language and approach, hoping to see this replicated- compare this to Azerbaijan's response. A more mild Iranian stance isn't happening though, the Iranians keep targeting the Kingdom's hydrocarbon facilities, just today another drone swarm targeted an oil field+ facility (Al Shaybah oil field) and the capital Riyaad. Activating the Pact would likely mean the Pakistani bolstering the Saudis defensive aerial capabilities, and possibly more.



 

Though Israeli and the U.S. are attacking together, their interests and activities in Iran and Iraq diverge in places.

  • "Israel is far more aggressive on this, both on the on the military side of it, but also in terms of pushing Iranian Kurds or encouraging Iranian Kurds to be part of this war," said the official, who added that he saw no evidence of U.S. efforts to arm or incite Kurds to attack Iran.

Would explain why it's pretty much only been Israeli media/figures reporting that the Kurd were about to begin an attack.

I wouldn't rule out boots on the ground. In fact, if this war drags on, I'd say it's practically a certainty. That doesn't mean we'll see an American invasion, however. Much more likely is the use of CIA operators and military special operations for limited tactical incursions, and the use of U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets) as "advisors" to organize and direct the operations of local militias. We could also see the employment of international mercenaries like we have in Ukraine. I don't think the American public have an appetite to tolerate much more than that, barring some sort of 9/11-level false flag (and even that might backfire at this point).

I don't think they care one whit what any American thinks of a ground invasion. They know we have no power to resist and they can arrange the incentives to facilitate.

The only limitation on their power is perception management and the uniparty's balancing act.

Thomas Massie needs more security since he's the outstanding voice in Congress questioning the presuppositions justifying war.

Debatable and flimsy claim as there was an Iranian replenishment ship tailing the frigate and the ship had just participated in live firing exercises. Either way that's the soy reply, reality is that the IRIS Deena was an enemy vessel and part of a military that engages in hostile acts against US civilian and military assets all around the Persian Gulf and beyond.

Furthermore this attempt to gain the moral high ground is bunk. The US only targets enemy military vessels, the Iranians on the other hand have been (successfully) taking potshots at a variety of civilian vessels for the last 7 days, sinking several and causing damage, death and massive secondary implications. In short the idea that in a war one is not allowed to target enemy vessels because they haven't shot at you yet nor have arrived at their field of operations yet is low T.
