US-Pakistan Relations: Trump's Bold Move Amidst Iran Tensions

Vijay Darda

I am currently on a tour of many countries, whoever meets is definitely asking why US President Trump invited Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff General Munir for lunch and what will be its impact on India? I tell them that only Trump and Munir can tell what was the deal between them, but this lunch has baffled everyone because before this, no President in the White House has organized such a lunch for the Chief of Army Staff of any country in the world. Trump must have wanted Pakistan to join the US in the war against Iran. How could Munir deny it? Uncle's order is supreme in the world, by the way, the extent of the joke is that after this lunch, Pakistan nominated Trump for the Nobel Prize for Peace and Trump said that no matter what he does, he is not going to get the Nobel.

But let me tell you before the war between Israel and Iran that in the areas I am roaming right now, Pakistanis are at number one in the vehicle business and Indians are at number two. There is tremendous brotherhood between the two communities here. In the conversation, Pakistanis say that the dispute between India and Pakistan is not between the two countries but between the politicians. There is a lot of difference between country and politics. The Pakistanis there were telling me that the US has been trying to manipulate Pakistani politics for years to put India under pressure. Apart from the generals of Pakistan and the army there, the ISI has been giving a lot of money. With the same money, Pakistan buys weapons, the US arms business benefits, the Pakistani generals have bats.

They have made luxurious residences from America, Europe, France and Dubai to now Canada and Australia, if any leader tries to bring democracy in Pakistan, then everyone settles it together. From Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif to Imran, there are examples. This time too, the uncle is playing the same game. I think this opinion of the people who have migrated from Pakistan to other countries of the world is absolutely correct. If this was not the case, then why would Trump call the Chief of Army Staff instead of the Prime Minister of Pakistan? They know that Pakistan is an incredible country. During the war in Afghanistan, America has seen the betrayal of the Pakistani army and ISI. Osama bin Laden was hiding on Pakistan's soil, so it is important for Trump to ensure that Pakistan does not cheat at any cost in the current war.

There was every possibility that America would jump into the Israel-Iran war. Most Americans, upset with Trump's changing policies, did not want their country to join this war, but Trump does what he wants. Anyway, Israel has attacked Iran to fulfill America's goal along with its own goal. The Israeli attack certainly has caused casualties in Iran, but the Iranian attack has caused no less devastation in Israel. Israel is not in a position to force Iran to kneel on its own. He needed direct help from the United States. Right now, Russia is not able to help Iran because it itself is entangled in Ukraine, but China is definitely helping Iran.

There have been intelligence reports that two Chinese cargo planes carrying some of the chemicals and equipment used in the missile arrived in Tehran. In this war, China is drinking sweet syrup, secretly selling weapons to Iran. There is a 909 km long border between Iran and Pakistan and Balochistan also falls in this area. Trump must be thinking that if there is a need to enter Iran, then Pakistani land and airspace will have to be used, as it happened during the Afghanistan war. It is believed that secretly there is a US air base in Pakistan. During Operation Sindoor, it also emerged that the US Air Force was just a few miles away from the Noor Khan Air Base, where India fired the missile. Whatever the case, America needs to keep Pakistan together.

The United States has bombed several underground nuclear bases in Iran. Will Trump now overthrow the Khamenei government in Iran and install a government that will be an American puppet? Women's lives, in particular, have become difficult. During the time of Reza Shah Pahlavi, women used to play football and drive cars there. Khamenei took away all the freedom of women. Therefore, the chances of a coup d'état seem high. Many of Khamenei's top commanders have been killed. They themselves are underground, such is the situation and, above all, the Mossad has made a deep dent within Iran. Drones and missile equipment were smuggled to Iran and attacked Iran from Iranian soil.

Khamenei is in crisis and his power seems to be coming to an end. So the question is, who will get power? In 1979, the king of Iran was Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. He was overthrown in the Islamic Revolution. His son Reza Pahlavi is currently living in the US. "We have been fighting for 46 years. Now our time has come! ... So has his time in power really come? Wait, time tells its own story. And finally, I want to say that our relations with Iran are good, but it was better during the time of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. We believe in non-alignment, we are not war, we are peace-loving countries.
