It weems hat every respectable country in the world, and even many of the non-respectable ones, too, are on to Iran.....EXCEPT for the bird-brained senile idiot that runs ours.
We don't know that. I doubt that Pakistan would risk a retaliatory strike now or when Iran does get the bomb.
"They could do the world a favor if they nuked Tehran."
They could do the world a favor by effecting regime change in Iran. I don't think nuking Tehran would necessarily achieve this.
“I sure didn’t see that coming.”
Oh, heavens, the Baloch’s have been at it with the Iranians for decades at least. But, this is really sort of a (common in the ME) 3-way fight. Iran’s bloody crackdown on the Baloch insurgency has not been enough, in the Paks’ view.
A little background to scratch the surface:

and

This is not really Pak vs. Iran. A closer comparison (not that close) would be if the US hit drug cartels in Mexico.
See my post 43 below and links therein.
We can hope.
Golly, at least one other person (you) on this thread has some idea what’s going on! :-)
However, Iran has actually cracked down on the Baluchi separatists pretty hard. Just not hard enough to satisfy the Paks.
That’s a reference to descendants of Ishmael— that is Arabs.
Neither Iran, nor Pakistan , are Arab countries.
The Pakis have nukes
The Mullahs don’t
I’m waiting breathlessly for international organizations to condemn this disproportionate response.
That’s because DJT starved them from their goals- so to speak. But now, Biden has fed then piles of cash and all that pent up rage is coming out.
........I think the following age old comment is applicable in this case for America.
.........”the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.
Just to be clear, “to hell with Iran”.
No great loss as long as the weapons remain contained for use in Iran and Pakistan.
we should not “support” either — let them all fight and we sit and watch.
I don’t even agree with supporting the losing side - we would only create another Mujahideen.
True, but the RELIGION of the Arabs has affected these other folks.
Iran made the mistake of picking on someone that’s crazier than they are. 😏
I agree. The problem is that we are repeating the mistakes of the '30s. We would rather not deal with Iran.
I understand that it's not pleasant to deal with Iran right now.
But we didn't want to deal with Nazi Germany back then and we paid the price for it later.
I guess the same thing will happen with Iran.
Many Arabs are not Moslem.
Maybe Pakistan will nuke Iran? a dozen a-bombs—even small ones, would do the job and end Iran as a nation. The Pakistanis have them. Israelis would cheer and after the war, there will be world peace! Without Iran no more problems on Earth.
