In re: Israel, Iran, India & Pakistan

Field Marshall Asim Munir, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar & Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi personally received both delegations in Islamabad.

This is the pragmatism which allows Pakistan to endure in spite of perpetual chaos. They reserve their lack of pragmatism for India - essentially their unhealthy obsession with Kashmir. 

Notice Asim Munir's messaging:
- Wearing a combat uniform to receive the Iranian delegation - as the only security guarantor against Israel & 
- Wearing a business suit to receive Vice President Vance - as America's point-man in the region. (The classic Jalandhari father at a wedding reception look).

The image of a Meraj plane carrying the Iranian delegation to Islamabad being escorted by Pakistani Air Force Jets demonstrates Iran’s fear of Israel. Indeed apart from Pakistan & arguably Turkiye, there is no pro Palestine country which Israel fears. Iran will be more & more dependent on Pakistan.

This is not good for India which will need to diversify its energy sources. Pakistan, as Iran’s only security guarantor can influence, if not control, economic ties between Iran & India.
