In re: President Trump, Iran & Pakistan.

Pakistan initially did a great job on the Iran issue & earned President Trump 's appreciation. This could have led to gains on many fronts. However as things progressed, they failed to be FIRM with the Iranian side.

For that reason, the equity earned stands diminished.

The 'Biradar Mulk' concept prevented Pakistan from being firm with the Iranian side.

That concept makes sense for Muslims & Muslim majority countries.

However while it does not totally reject 'nation first' principles, it creates friction with them.

President Trump found out.
