Key Notes
Saudi entry into the war could activate Pakistan through mutual defense, opening an eastern front and putting nuclear weapons into play even if Jiang does not expect tactical nuclear weapons to be used.
Talabani says Pakistan sending a team to Tehran gives reason for optimism and that one bad day should not end negotiations.
Jiang predicts Saudi Arabia will eventually join the war and that Pakistan would then be obligated to enter because of its mutual defense pact with Riyadh.
Jiang says a U.S. ground invasion would likely attack Iran from multiple vectors including Pakistan, Iraq, and Azerbaijan while trying to seize Hormuz quickly.
Jiang says Pakistan is dangerous because, after earlier voicing support for Iran, it later signed a mutual defense pact with Saudi Arabia that could obligate it to enter the war if false flags pull Riyadh in.
Jiang says southeastern Iran is more vulnerable than the northwest and therefore Pakistan could become the staging area for a U.S.-aligned ground invasion.
Jiang says closure of the Strait of Hormuz would hit Asian economies hardest, citing heavy energy dependence for Pakistan, China, and especially Japan.
