✍️ 🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇷 External Support: How Russia and China Are Backing Iran Indirectly
While Russia and China are not expected to enter the conflict kinetically, both countries remain major intelligence powers and appear to be assisting Iran from that angle.
Russia’s role is largely believed to involve regional surveillance and military monitoring. By sharing data on air activity, naval movements, and operational patterns across the Gulf, Moscow can help Iran track potential threats and identify strategic targets without deploying forces of its own. With Russia heavily engaged in the Ukraine war, intelligence cooperation is the most realistic form of support it can provide.
China’s involvement appears to focus more on satellite capability and technical cooperation. Beijing has extensive space-based surveillance systems and analysts believe satellite imagery and reconnaissance data may be helping Iran assess strike impacts and refine targeting.
Together, this kind of intelligence support can significantly increase battlefield awareness. Access to accurate surveillance and movement data makes it easier to identify specific targets and explains how Iran has been able to carry out relatively precise strikes against military positions in Israel and U.S. assets across parts of the Gulf.
Washington has warned both Moscow and Beijing against providing assistance that could escalate the conflict further. For now, however, their involvement appears to remain indirect, centred on intelligence, technology, and strategic coordination rather than direct military intervention.

There is absolutely no concern whatsoever. 🤷
Sleep tight, your armed forces have you covered.

🚨🇵🇰🤝🇮🇷 NEW: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi thanked Pakistan for expressing solidarity with Iran and its people amid the ongoing conflict with the U.S. and Israel.
The statement came as a Pakistan-flagged oil tanker successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz, despite heavy restrictions on shipping during the crisis.
Also, we have hit 400 subs! ⚡️

On 6 January 2014, Aitzaz Hasan, a 15-year-old student from Hangu in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, carried out an act of extraordinary bravery that saved countless lives.
After identifying a suicide bomber attempting to enter his school, Aitzaz made the decision to intervene. He stopped the attacker at the entrance, preventing him from reaching over 2,000 students inside.
The explosives detonated during the confrontation, and Aitzaz was killed instantly.
His actions prevented a mass-casualty attack and led to him being recognised as a national hero. He was posthumously awarded the Sitara-e-Shujaat, one of Pakistan’s highest honours for bravery.
His legacy continues to be remembered across Pakistan as a powerful example of courage, sacrifice, and selflessness.
Rest in power, Aitzaz. Your legacy lives on. 🇵🇰

✍️ 🇵🇰 The Quiet Power: Pakistan’s Role in Preventing Escalation
Pakistan isn’t acting as a traditional mediator in the US–Iran crisis. There are no formal talks, and Iran publicly denies negotiations are even happening. Instead, Islamabad is doing something far more complex, managing the conditions that keep diplomacy alive under active conflict.
In real terms, that means keeping multiple pressure points stable at once: maintaining Iran’s engagement without internal hardliners shutting it down, keeping Washington’s diplomatic window open, and ensuring regional actors like Saudi Arabia don’t escalate.
Over just 72 hours, Pakistan:
– Held direct leadership calls with the US, Iran, and Saudi Arabia
– Acted as the channel for a US proposal to Tehran
– Coordinated with Turkey, Egypt, and Gulf partners
– Hosted a critical multilateral meeting shifted to Islamabad
One of the clearest signals of trust came when Iranian oil tankers transited the Strait of Hormuz under Pakistani flags. In a conflict where adversaries won’t speak directly, that kind of move is a deliberate message, Pakistan is trusted by both sides to carry signals safely.
At the same time, the process is under constant threat. Israeli strikes continue, and each escalation risks collapsing the narrow window for de-escalation. Pakistan’s role now also involves shaping the narrative calling out actions that undermine peace before they derail progress.
What’s at stake is far bigger than the region:
– Potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz
– Oil prices spiking beyond $200
– Global inflation and debt crises
– Long-term geopolitical instability
This isn’t about headline diplomacy. It’s about preventing a chain reaction the global system may not be able to absorb.
The window is short. The pressure is high. And Pakistan is at the centre of holding it together.

Diplomatic efforts for peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to substantive results in near future.
To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks.
Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture.
We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war, in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region.

NEW: Trump Agrees!
I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.
This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.
We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.
Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated.
On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution.
