Iran has bombed Iraq. Saudi Arabia. UAE. Bahrain. Qatar. Kuwait. Jordan. Turkey. Even Cyprus.
16 days of war. Missiles and drones in every direction.
But one country right on Iran's border hasn't been touched.
Pakistan.
And Pakistan has US military reconnaissance operations on its soil.
So why is Iran leaving Pakistan alone?
This is one of the most interesting strategic questions of this entire war. And the answer reveals something much bigger than just Pakistan.
First — let's establish what we know as fact.
Pakistan shares a 900-kilometer border with Iran. They are literal neighbors.
Iran has attacked countries far less threatening to it — Jordan, Turkey, Oman, Cyprus — countries with no shared border and minimal strategic significance to the US campaign.
Yet Pakistan, which borders Iran directly, which has US reconnaissance assets on its territory, which has deployed F-16s to Saudi Arabia under a mutual defense pact — has not received a single Iranian strike.
Iran has also not attacked Pakistan verbally. No threats. No warnings. No ultimatums.
In a war where Iran has threatened everyone from the UK to South Korea — complete silence toward Pakistan.
Here's why...
1. Pakistan is playing every side simultaneously — and Iran knows it.
Pakistan finds itself in one of the most complex positions of any country on earth right now.
It has a strategic defense agreement with Saudi Arabia — Iran's regional rival.
It has deployed F-16s to Saudi soil.
It procures over 80% of its military weapons from China.
It is simultaneously fighting its own war against the Taliban on its Afghan border.
It is managing violent pro-Iran Shia protests inside its own cities.
It has evacuated approximately 35,000 Pakistani nationals trapped inside Iran.
And it has publicly stated it considers Iran to be "defending itself" against US-Israeli aggression.
Pakistan is simultaneously allied with Iran's enemies and sympathetic to Iran's cause.
