Iran seeking help of other countries mostly Shiite /moslem types to fight USA and Pakistan and Turkey along with China and Russia only ones with some capability it seems, as they just have to drive or fly across a border...the Shiites can provide human fodder if Iran is physically invaded...Iran has long had Chinese silkworm anti ship missiles and has recently acquired short range anti ship cruise missiles

May16-2026--why is PTI blamed for terrorim in KP and not the balochistn govt...the PTI chief minister is a known arsonist and heads the apex committee which has the corp commander and IG's and decides how to tackle things in the terrorism sphere..The terrorism in KP mostly originating in tribal areas and involves people friendly to the tribal Sohail afridi and with new phenomenons of tribals launching drones...The KP police and judiciary does almost nothing...no arrests or convictions...and than they blame the federal govt...the balochistan chief minister is a PPP man and does not make lying complaints against the center...there is also a completely controlled assembly and jirgas in Kp...The Baluchistan chief minister takes responsibility and does not get released 72 PTI arsonists...there is no need for police and KP judiciary since they are just bystanders...might as well dispense with them...If the corp commander is not helpful replace or retire him...most pukhtuns are also PTI supporters and hence the PTI and KP government are blamed...terrorism mostly suicide bombs and IEDS and drones ...are used and made in KP and it should be easy to control if the intelligence depts, paramilitaries and police work efficiently...which is totally under the control of PTI government..Interior minister must discuss terrorism with chief minister KP and corp commander rather than innocuous countries like Bangladesh, somalia , Iran and Egypt...!
