Transcript [00:00] So, right now we've been hearing a lot [00:01] about Pakistan, JD Vance praising them, [00:05] Trump calling uh their Field Marshal [00:08] Asim Munir his favorite Field Marshal. [00:12] And we're being told that Pakistan [00:13] stepped up and they're a they're an [00:15] honest broker, they they're the [00:16] mediator. And and they and they're [00:19] trusted by everyone and they're supposed [00:21] to be where everyone's supposed to be [00:22] grateful to Pakistan. So, I'm here to [00:24] push back on that and I'm going to push [00:26] back on it pretty hard. My position is [00:28] this, I'll tell you the punchline at the [00:30] outset. Pakistan has been the lifeline [00:33] of the Iranian regime throughout the [00:35] war. [00:36] They enabled the one strategy that Iran [00:39] has been running from day one, which is [00:42] to delay, to survive, to outlast the [00:45] Americans. [00:46] Uh and they've done it and they've done [00:48] it in close coordination. The Pakistanis [00:50] have done this in close coordination [00:52] with China. Now, I made a video about [00:54] this near the beginning of the ceasefire [00:56] where I [00:57] I unpacked Pakistan's nefarious behavior [01:01] and its relationship to China and and [01:03] how they're trying to undermine the [01:04] possibility of American success against [01:07] Iran. And so, we're basically revisiting [01:10] that topic because Pakistan is now get [01:12] getting heaps of praise and they're [01:14] playing this vital role in you know, as [01:17] this mediator. And they're even being [01:19] written into further mediation in [01:23] Lebanon. [01:25] We have to put a stop to this. So, [01:27] before I get to the new material, let me [01:28] remind you of some of the highlights of [01:30] what I talked about in that earlier [01:31] video about Pakistan a couple months [01:33] ago. [01:36] So, we know, for example, here's the [01:38] first article on the on the on this [01:41] on the page here. Let's pull this up. [01:45] Pakistan quietly hosted Iranian military [01:48] aircraft during the US war despite [01:52] public mediator role. [01:54] Okay, this is an article from back in [01:57] May, right? so the article the I guess [01:59] the previous video I made was around was [02:01] around May. It was sometime in mid-May [02:04] and that was when [02:06] when this story broke and I started [02:08] looking into more stuff about Pakistan. [02:10] So, let's remember this. [02:12] Okay, what does this say here? [02:14] Pakistan quietly allowed Iranian [02:16] military aircraft to park on its [02:18] airfields during Iran's war with the [02:19] United States. [02:21] Even as Islamabad publicly positioned [02:24] itself as a mediator between the two [02:25] sides. [02:27] US officials told CBS News this the move [02:30] may have helped shield some of Tehran's [02:32] remaining military and aviation assets [02:34] from possible American air strikes. [02:38] See? That's what Pakistan was busy with. [02:43] Senator Lindsey Graham at the time said [02:44] that his line was I don't trust Pakistan [02:47] as far as I can throw them. I don't know [02:48] how far he can throw them. [02:50] We know Pakistan opened six overland [02:53] routes, [02:55] overland trade corridors to Iran [02:59] to help Iran bypass the blockade. This [03:03] is also from back in May. This is a May [03:06] 1st story. Pakistan takes calculated [03:08] risk by opening overland routes for [03:10] shipments to Iran. Basically what they [03:12] did, what this story is about, and this [03:14] is from an Arab media source from the [03:16] national. It's out of the Emirates. [03:18] Uh [03:19] No one ever denies this. Trump said he [03:21] knew about it. That [03:24] in order to circumvent the US blockade [03:26] and get more goods shipped in from China [03:30] over to Iran. Remember, China borders [03:32] Pakistan, Pakistan borders Iran. [03:35] And they opened these overland routes [03:38] from Pakistan into Iran that had never [03:40] existed before. [03:41] Um so that they could have [03:44] more shipments of Chinese goods coming [03:48] across Pakistan into Iran to circumvent [03:52] the US blockade. So, the Pakistanis have [03:54] been undermining the Americans all the [03:56] way through. Trump even said at the time [03:58] that he was never consulted. In this [04:00] article, it says that Trump was asked [04:01] whether he was aware. He said, "I know [04:03] everything about it." [04:04] Okay. [04:06] Now, we know that China at the time was [04:08] also telling Pakistan to do more to step [04:11] up its mediation. They've been [04:13] encouraging Pakistan to be the mediator. [04:16] So, let's add to all this now. Now, [04:18] let's take a look at some at some newer [04:19] stories from the last couple of days. [04:22] So, this story here should be the [04:24] headline everywhere today. This is This [04:26] is from today. Iranian President [04:31] Pakistan Army Chief It's actually from [04:33] yesterday. Iranian President and [04:34] Pakistan Army Chief stress stronger [04:37] cooperation, regional security in [04:41] Islamabad meeting. Meaning, right after [04:43] Geneva, the [04:45] president of Iran, right after those [04:47] talks wrapped up or as they were [04:48] wrapping up, he flew to Pakistan to meet [04:51] with the chief of the Pakistani army. [04:56] Okay? [04:57] So, this is just after the Islamabad [05:00] memorandum was signed. The very [05:02] agreement that Pakistan is being [05:03] celebrated for being the honest mediator [05:06] broker. [05:07] And what does it say in this article? [05:11] Check this out. Iranian President Masoud [05:13] Pezeshkian and Pakistan's Army Chief [05:16] General Asim Munir, who Trump loves, [05:19] emphasized the need to expand bilateral [05:21] cooperation and strengthen regional [05:23] security during a meeting in Islamabad [05:26] on Tuesday, yesterday. According to [05:28] Iran's official news agency, IRNA, the [05:31] two sides reviewed the course of [05:33] political, security, and defense [05:35] cooperation [05:38] between their countries and underscored [05:39] the importance of enhancing bilateral [05:42] coordination, particularly in the [05:44] security field. Got that? [05:48] Let that sit for a second. This is [05:50] Pakistan's army chief and Iran's [05:53] president talking about defense [05:54] cooperation. [05:56] Openly. [05:57] With Iran's foreign minister and [05:58] ambassador in the room. They were there [06:00] as well. [06:02] So, the world thinks that Pakistan is [06:03] closing the book on this war and they're [06:05] the neutral broker. Pakistan and Iran [06:08] are opening a new chapter of military [06:10] coordination. [06:12] Okay, they're not a neutral mediator. [06:15] They're Iran's ally. [06:18] And Israel knows it. [06:20] Check this out. How Pakistan became the [06:23] diplomatic winner of the Iran war for [06:25] now. This is an opinion piece in the [06:27] Jerusalem Post from a couple days ago. [06:31] Uh from a from an Indian writer, an [06:33] Indian analyst. [06:35] Uh it's an interesting piece. [06:38] But it it it says uh it says it very [06:40] plainly here. Let's Let's find that the [06:42] quote I want here. [06:44] Here we go. [06:49] Israel's unease is less about Pakistan's [06:52] intentions in this negotiation than [06:55] about the precedent it creates. [06:58] Every round of diplomacy conducted [07:01] through Islamabad reinforces Pakistan's [07:04] claim to be a useful intermediary [07:06] between the West and some of the [07:08] region's most difficult actors. [07:12] That is really the problem. [07:15] That is the problem. [07:17] Israel now appears uneasy with [07:19] Pakistan's diplomatic centrality. And [07:22] that suggests the concern is not [07:23] Pakistan's role itself, [07:26] but what the role may translate into. [07:31] Let me Let me Let me explain that. [07:33] What that really means is that Israel's [07:34] saying, "Listen, the fact that Pakistan [07:36] right now is the mediator in this deal [07:38] is not such a big deal." [07:41] This is good, you know, for those of you [07:42] watching this video going, "Well, you [07:43] know, what are you so upset about [07:44] Pakistan for? Like, you know, so they're [07:46] the mediator, big deal." No. [07:49] The problem is that Pakistan is [07:51] elevating its status as this mediator, [07:54] as this neutral party, [07:56] by being in the center of this whole [07:58] deal. And Israel's looking at it saying, [08:01] "We don't like where this is headed." [08:04] That's the problem. [08:05] You know, let's go to another Jerusalem [08:06] Post piece. [08:08] And this one is old. This one is from [08:10] April, okay? And it's about Pakistan. [08:13] It's done also It's done by a writer [08:15] living in Germany. [08:17] Pakistan in the spotlight, a ceasefire [08:19] mediator Israel should watch closely. [08:21] So, this is right after this the [08:22] original ceasefire. The original [08:24] ceasefire was April 10th April 8th. This [08:26] is from April 10th, but there's a [08:28] paragraph buried in here [08:30] that I really want to drill down on. And [08:32] this is one of these side stories. I [08:34] know a lot of you commented that you [08:35] liked the Morocco video because uh that [08:38] I made a few days ago giving this whole [08:40] side plot going on in the Middle East. [08:43] So, here's we're going to go down a [08:44] little bit of a rabbit hole right now. [08:47] So, this is a piece [08:49] uh talking about Pakistan's role in the [08:52] original ceasefire back in April. [08:55] But, there's a paragraph in here that [08:57] caught my eye that I never did anything [08:59] with. So, I went back to it today. So, [09:00] here's here's that paragraph. Let me dig [09:02] it up. [09:03] Let me find it down here. And it's [09:04] talking about Pakistan's different [09:07] um misbehavior, different things they've [09:09] done over the years. [09:12] It talks about Pakistan's nuclear [09:13] program. But, check out this this this [09:16] paragraph. [09:17] The country's nuclear history is also [09:20] not without complications, meaning [09:21] Pakistan's nuclear history is not [09:23] without complications. The legacy of the [09:26] Abdul Qadeer Khan network, [09:29] which transferred nuclear technology to [09:32] Iran, Libya, and North Korea, remains [09:35] one of the most severe breaches of [09:38] global non-prolifer- [09:40] proliferation norms. While officially [09:43] attributed to rogue individuals, the [09:46] scale of the operation suggests systemic [09:49] complicity on Pakistan's part. There you [09:51] go, five lines and there's a lot in [09:54] there that is not explained. So, let me [09:56] let me back this up and tell you what's [09:58] going on. [10:03] You have to know who Abdul Qadeer Khan [10:05] is, okay? He's an important name. [10:08] Abdul Qadeer Khan was the father of [10:11] Pakistan's nuclear bomb. Everyone knows [10:13] Pakistan is a nuclear country, right? [10:15] So, in the 1970s, [10:17] Khan, Abdul Qadeer Khan, [10:20] worked at a uranium enrichment [10:23] consortium in the Netherlands and he had [10:25] access to highly classified centrifuge [10:28] designs. He stole those designs and [10:30] brought them home to Pakistan where he [10:32] built the country's nuclear weapons [10:34] program from scratch. And by 1998, [10:36] Pakistan had the bomb. So, this guy, [10:38] Khan, he is the father of Pakistan's [10:43] nuclear weapons. [10:45] And while he was building Pakistan's [10:47] nuclear program, he was also [10:50] and like working for the government, he [10:51] was also [10:53] on the sly, maybe, ordering far more [10:57] centrifuge components than Pakistan [10:59] actually needed. He was actually [11:01] building up surplus inventory and in the [11:04] mid-80s, he started selling off that [11:06] surplus inventory. [11:09] Oops, we ordered too much. [11:12] And he was also selling with the [11:14] inventory, he was also selling the [11:15] underlying technology to other countries [11:17] and Iran was his first customer. In 1986 [11:21] and 1987, [11:23] Khan reportedly traveled to Iran [11:25] personally to visit their nuclear [11:27] reactor at Bushehr and around the same [11:29] time, Pakistan and Iran signed what was [11:32] publicly described as a peaceful nuclear [11:35] cooperation agreement. [11:37] Peaceful. Training Iranian scientists at [11:41] Pakistani nuclear institutes. You got [11:43] that? This is in the 1980s. Pakistan and [11:46] Iran sign a deal and they're going to [11:47] bring Iranian scientists to study at [11:50] Pakistani nuclear institutes. And the [11:53] guy who's who's in charge of the whole [11:54] nuclear program in Pakistan, this guy [11:56] Khan, is overseeing everything. [11:58] But that official channel was really [12:00] just the cover, the official channel of [12:02] like the deal to have a a peaceful [12:04] nuclear program. [12:06] In 1987 in Dubai, representatives of [12:09] Khan's network met with Iranian [12:11] officials [12:12] and handed them what [12:14] the reporting since then describes as a [12:16] menu, a shopping list of nuclear [12:19] technology and components. Disassembled [12:21] centrifuges, drawings, specs for [12:25] an enrichment plant. [12:29] Okay. Iran paid $3 million [12:32] for this massive package of centrifuges [12:35] and and and and plans and all kinds of [12:37] stuff at the time. [12:40] And then through the late 1980s into the [12:41] mid-90s, Iran kept buying more stuff [12:44] from Khan's network. By 1995, Iran had [12:46] received hundreds more centrifuge [12:48] components, including blueprints for [12:51] more advanced designs. All told, Iran [12:54] would eventually admit to receiving [12:56] around 2,000 [12:58] centrifuge components and subassemblies [13:01] from foreign sources. [13:03] And much of that is is is is traced [13:07] right back the investigators traced it [13:09] right back to Khan's network in [13:10] Pakistan. [13:13] Now, [13:14] this technology, the technology and the [13:17] components from [13:20] this Pakistani network, from this guy [13:22] Khan, selling them to the Iranians, [13:26] is the backbone of Iran's nuclear [13:29] program. [13:30] So, the same Pakistani P1 centrifuge [13:33] design that Khan sold to Tehran in the [13:36] '80s [13:37] is, according to expert assessment, [13:39] still the foundation underneath Iran's [13:42] enrichment facilities at Natanz and [13:43] Fordow, that the famous enrichment [13:45] facilities they have decades later. [13:48] Now, they've improved and evolved the [13:50] technology a bit, but it all starts with [13:52] the Pakistani components. Now, let's go [13:54] back to that Jerusalem Post line that I [13:56] just read to you. While officially [13:58] attributed to rogue individuals, [14:01] the scale of the operation suggests [14:04] systemic complicity on Pakistan's part. [14:07] And what does this mean? Officially, [14:09] Pakistan's government has always claimed [14:11] that all of this stuff, all of the all [14:14] of the selling of nuclear technology and [14:15] components and and and centrifuges, this [14:18] is all the work of one rogue scientist [14:21] who was acting alone. [14:23] And when he was finally exposed, when [14:24] Khan was finally exposed in 2003, [14:27] after international investigators [14:29] intercepted [14:31] a shipment of centrifuge parts heading [14:33] to Libya, [14:35] so Khan went on Pakistani state [14:37] television [14:38] in 2004 and confessed, [14:41] and then was immediately pardoned [14:44] by President Pervez Musharraf and placed [14:46] under house arrest, comfortable house [14:49] arrest in his own home. [14:50] He was never sent to prison. [14:54] Now, think about that for a second. This [14:55] guy sold nuclear weapons technology to [14:57] Iran, to Libya, to North Korea, [15:01] right, three of the most dangerous [15:02] nuclear proliferation risks on the [15:04] planet. North Korea eventually went [15:05] nuclear. [15:07] And he didn't serve any time. [15:11] And [15:12] look, [15:14] there's a reason why serious analysts [15:16] don't buy the lone rogue scientist [15:18] story, which is exactly what was said in [15:20] this quote in the Jerusalem Post. "The [15:21] scale [15:23] Right, what was that quote there? The [15:25] The scale of the operation suggests [15:27] systemic complicity on Pakistan's part." [15:33] Okay? [15:34] He [15:36] Khan was He wasn't placing this much [15:38] material, like hundreds of centrifuges [15:40] and all this stuff. He wasn't putting [15:42] this all in shipping containers and [15:43] sending it from Pakistan to Libya and to [15:45] North Korea to Iran without anyone in [15:47] Pakistan's military or intelligence [15:49] apparatus noticing. [15:51] He was the head of the state nuclear [15:53] laboratory. The scale of what happened [15:55] could not have occurred without [15:58] complicity, without cooperation from the [16:00] people inside Pakistan. [16:03] Which is exactly what this Jerusalem [16:04] Post [16:06] quote is getting at. [16:08] And here's where it connects to [16:09] everything else we talked about here [16:10] today. [16:12] Some of the underlying nuclear weapons [16:14] design [16:15] that flowed through Khan's network, the [16:17] same documents that were later found The [16:19] same documents [16:21] that were later found in Libya's [16:23] surrendered nuclear files. When the [16:24] Libyan regime fell, they found nuclear [16:26] files there. They were trying to go [16:27] nuclear. [16:28] A lot of this stuff, it came from [16:30] Pakistan, but it's but it's believed to [16:32] have originated with China. China had [16:34] supplied Pakistan with tested with a [16:37] tested nuclear warhead back in the early [16:39] '80s. [16:41] And that same design is is thought to be [16:43] what got passed along to other Khan [16:46] customers down the line. [16:49] So, this isn't a story about one rogue [16:51] scientist, right? It's a story about [16:52] Pakistan. [16:54] You know, obviously, plausible [16:56] deniability. Oh, it was a rogue [16:57] scientist. Oh, you know, "Tsk tsk tsk. [17:00] We're going to arrest him and put him [17:01] under house arrest." [17:02] It's a story about Pakistan using [17:04] nuclear technology that may or may not [17:06] have originated in China, [17:08] building the foundation of Iran's [17:10] nuclear weapons capability. [17:12] So, this whole thing about Iran possibly [17:13] getting a nuclear weapon, it all starts [17:15] with cooperation with Pakistan. [17:17] Equipment, training nuclear scientists [17:20] in Pakistan. [17:23] It's a long time ago. [17:25] So, when Pakistan's army chief sits down [17:28] with Iran's president [17:30] yesterday [17:32] to talk about defense cooperation [17:36] this is just par for the course. This is [17:38] Pakistan playing the role it's always [17:40] played, supporting the [17:44] defense and secure the military [17:46] ambitions of [17:47] Iran. [17:50] Now, [17:52] keep all that in mind, and let's take a [17:53] look at this next piece. [17:56] Okay? And this is from [17:59] this is from [18:01] a couple days ago. [18:02] Pakistan emerges as key key player in [18:06] Iran talks as Vance praises Islamabad. [18:10] Vance just loves the Pakistanis. [18:16] Here, let's find the quote in there. [18:19] Such a ridiculous quote. Here, let's [18:21] find it. Oops. [18:23] Here's the quote. [18:26] Um here. [18:30] There's a lot of focus on the warmth [18:31] between Vance and Pakistani and the [18:33] Pakistani delegation. Vance clearly has [18:35] a close relationship with Munir, the [18:37] army chief. [18:38] The guy sitting with the Iranian [18:41] president the next day pledging security [18:43] cooperation. [18:44] As evidenced by a joke he told about the [18:46] field marshal being one of several [18:47] important people in his life. I have [18:49] joked that I have two very, very [18:51] important people in my life, an Indian [18:52] and a Pakistani, he said. The Indian is [18:55] my wife, and the Pakistani is Field [18:57] Marshal Munir. Vance said he has spoken [18:59] to Munir more than anyone else in recent [19:02] months. [19:03] The Pakistani army chief has shown [19:05] himself to be a good diplomat, Vance [19:07] said, adding that Sharif and Munir [19:10] and that's the uh Sharif is the is the [19:12] head of state of Pakistan and Munir the [19:14] the army chief had welcomed him in [19:16] Pakistan during the negotiations there. [19:19] Uh [19:20] such a great guy. [19:22] That's the sitting vice president of the [19:24] United States praising Pakistan's top [19:26] general, the same general who two days [19:29] later was sitting down with Iran's [19:30] president to talk about defense and [19:32] military cooperation. [19:36] Okay, now [19:37] last piece we're going to look at today [19:39] which confirms everything I've been [19:41] saying and this is from [19:44] uh [19:45] Monday [19:46] this article US Iran deal Pakistan's [19:49] diplomatic master stroke. [19:52] Just look at the headline framing here. [19:54] Underneath the headline look what it [19:55] says here. By stepping in as mediator in [19:58] the Iran war, Pakistan has managed to [20:01] elevate its status from a regional [20:03] player to a global diplomatic [20:06] stakeholder with a little help from [20:08] China [20:10] and its friends in the Gulf. Sorry, [20:12] there's someone working out outside [20:13] that's making a lot of noise. I hope it [20:14] doesn't bother you too much. [20:18] Um [20:19] a little help from China. So let's go a [20:21] little further. [20:22] Uh in this piece it's from DW a German [20:24] outlet. It reports something [20:25] extraordinary. [20:27] That Pakistan couldn't even get Iran to [20:30] the table without bringing China in. [20:32] Okay, the thing the thing that got this [20:34] negotiation going was China's [20:36] involvement. [20:37] Okay, China's involvement. Here, let me [20:39] show you a few uh [20:43] Let me show you a few uh a few quotes [20:46] from this piece here. It's quite [20:47] amazing. [20:52] Here, all the way down here. Many voices [20:55] have speculated that Pakistan could only [20:56] act as mediator due to strong support [20:58] from China. Beijing has ties to Tehran [21:01] and needs stability in the Gulf to [21:04] ensure energy imports and regional trade [21:06] routes remain open. Chinese officials [21:09] have publicly backed Islamabad's [21:11] diplomatic initiative and encouraged [21:13] efforts to prevent escalation. I do [21:15] think the role of China and the Gulf [21:16] states is critical here. One could and [21:19] should give credit to Pakistan for its [21:21] role as prime mediator, but it could not [21:24] do this alone. That was never going to [21:25] be the case. [21:27] This quotes this expert. [21:29] What's his ex- What's his name? This [21:30] expert, whatever. It's an expert quoted [21:32] in the piece saying that. [21:33] When Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq [21:35] Dar went to Beijing several weeks ago, [21:38] that led to this joint resolution for [21:40] peace. It was at that moment that China [21:42] formally signed on to the Pakistan-led [21:44] peace process, and that meant that the [21:46] Iranians knew that China was buying into [21:48] the process. China leverages Iran in a [21:51] big way because of its economic clout, [21:54] because of the energy it imports from [21:55] Iran, and so on. [21:57] Analyst Farwa Aamer says China did not [22:00] play an overt role in Pakistan's [22:02] diplomatic effort, but warns that [22:03] Beijing's influence cannot be [22:05] overlooked. Pakistani leadership kept [22:07] China in the loop throughout, and Qatar [22:10] was another prominent but influential [22:11] player in the process. Now, in an [22:13] earlier video, I talked about the [22:15] Pakistani-Chinese relationship, which is [22:17] far more integrated than people realize. [22:19] Okay, a huge percentage, I think it's [22:21] like 80% of their of their military [22:24] equipment in Pakistan comes from China, [22:27] massive trade cooperation between them, [22:29] and the Pakistani Foreign Minister said [22:32] back in April that throughout the [22:36] throughout the war and leading up to [22:37] getting that the ceasefire, he was in [22:40] regular coordination with Wang Yi, the [22:43] Chinese Foreign Minister, and that they [22:45] worked together on the draft of the [22:47] original ceasefire agreement, meaning [22:48] China's been [22:50] been in the background with everything [22:52] Pakistan does, because Pakistan's [22:54] basically owned by China. [22:57] China is Pakistan's largest creditor. [23:01] They there are [23:02] Pakistan there are loans totaling about [23:05] 29 billion dollars which accounting for [23:08] roughly 22% [23:10] of Pakistan's total external debt. Okay, [23:13] so Pakistan is is like [23:16] beholden to China in a huge way. They're [23:18] basically owned by China. [23:20] 22% of Pakistan's entire external debt [23:23] is owed to Beijing. Pakistan's not a [23:25] free agent. [23:26] They do what China tells them. [23:29] Everything they do, every move they make [23:31] is closely coordinated by China. We're [23:33] seeing that in this story. We're we've [23:35] seen it in many other stories. I could [23:36] bring you a dozen articles that talk [23:38] about how closely China and Pakistan [23:40] have been coordinating throughout this [23:42] entire process. [23:44] This is China. [23:45] Okay, the [23:47] really the enemy of the United States. [23:51] So let's lay this all out. Let's lay out [23:52] the case point by point. Let's sum this [23:54] up. Number one, Pakistan shelters [23:56] Iranian military aircraft from American [23:58] strikes during the war. Pakistan opens [24:00] up land corridors to bypass the US [24:04] blockade [24:05] without consulting Washington on this. [24:09] Pakistan's army chief is then meeting [24:12] with the Iranian president the other day [24:14] to deepen their defense cooperation with [24:17] Iran after the ceasefire is signed. [24:19] Pakistan has a decades-long documented [24:22] history of being the conduit for nuclear [24:24] weapons technology and equipment to [24:27] Iran. [24:29] It's That's the technology and the [24:31] training of the scientists that all [24:33] underpins Iran's enrichment program [24:35] today. [24:36] Pakistan coordinating closely with China [24:38] throughout this whole process. [24:41] And of course Pakistan owes nearly a [24:43] quarter of its debt to China. [24:46] And now every one of the things I just [24:47] said is a fact that is sourced. [24:50] When you put all of this side by side, [24:52] the picture that emerges is very clear. [24:56] Pakistan is not an honest broker. [24:58] They're not a neutral mediator. [25:01] This is a country closely tethered to [25:05] China using its position as mediator, [25:08] neutral mediator, and friends with J.D. [25:10] Vance and and you know, like always. [25:13] They're They're using that to make sure [25:15] that Iran survives. [25:17] That Iran survives long enough for this [25:19] war to end on terms that Tehran and [25:22] Beijing can live with. So, J.D. Vance [25:25] can joke about his favorite field [25:27] marshal [25:28] and Trump can praise Munir, but I think [25:31] the American people and the Israeli [25:32] people deserve to know what's actually [25:34] happening behind all of this theater. [25:37] Pakistan is not neutral. Pakistan is not [25:39] an honest broker. They have been [25:41] pro-Iran and pro-CCP this entire time. [25:45] And they've used the cover of neutral [25:47] mediator to keep the Iranian regime [25:49] alive. That's my take. [25:52] Drop a comment down below. Let me know [25:54] where you disagree with me. If you [25:55] disagree with me, let me know what you [25:57] thought of this. [25:59] And [26:00] thanks for watching.

And I I [26:11] really appreciate all the comments. I [26:12] read as many of them as I can. I've [26:14] gotten a lot of good advice. I'm going [26:15] to try not to read full articles anymore [26:18] cuz I think it it just takes up too much [26:19] time and it makes the videos too long. [26:21] So, I'm just looking to pull out [26:22] highlights from them. Let me know what [26:23] you think of that. All right, God bless.
