Pakistan

Right.

I mean, let's not forget the three countries that Iran has attacked, you know, in response to them being attacked over the last two years have been the U.S., Israel and Pakistan, if you go a few years

back.

What do they all three have in common? So the fact that you have a nuclear weapon is not the ultimate deterrent.

Yeah, that's one of those we'll have to wait and see, I guess, too, because it does seem about everything.

It does seem like, though, we are closer to nuclear proliferation occurring than we've been in a long time.

Another thing that I'm interested in, we're seeing Pakistan.

in the middle of all of these negotiations what is pakistan's objective here why are they so involved uh in all of this do you think

I think, around the world.

We already see, for example, the fact that we have countries like the Saudis with the Mecca Agreement, which has Pakistan and Turkey, and Pakistan is a nuclear-armed state.

And on the other hand, you have Israel's so-called Hexagon Alliance, which is sort of the opposite side.

So it's Israel and then it's India, which also has nuclear weapons, and Greece, so against Turkey, and Cyprus, also against Turkey.

It's wild.

It took the Saudis a little longer.

You know, MBS didn't announce that until 2017, whereas like Musharraf in Pakistan was like moderate Islam by like 2001 was like, don't come after me, even though the Taliban are all here.

In Fatah, yeah.

So he's kind of hinting at the Mecca Alliance, potentially Iran being part of the Mecca Alliance.

Pakistan did mention yesterday that Iran is welcome, specifically said Iran is welcome to the Mecca Alliance.

Now, after that meeting, the chief of staff of the armed forces said, Ali Abdullahi announced that Iran is monitoring the Israeli-American movements and preparations and that Iran will conduct a strike as soon as indications of hostile action against Iran are confirmed without waiting for a strike.

So the Iranians may preemptively strike if they see an imminent strike by the Americans.

he didn't want to drop.

If Trump is ultimately skeptical a deal in Iran could be reached, Trump would also be more likely to order a strike if the Republican Party does poorly in the US midterm elections due to feeling embarrassed.

A regional source told Axios as well that countries in the Middle East, including Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi, and Turkey, have been urging Iran to resume negotiation with the US before the US midterm elections.

Saudi crown prince and Turkish president also urged Trump to allow more time for negotiations, while Netanyahu, of course, has urged Trump to launch joint military operation with Israel against Iran immediately after the midterms.

So about two years away, 12 teams have already qualified.

The two co-hosts, of course, ourselves in Australia, along with India, England, Pakistan, South Africa, the West Indies, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ireland and Zimbabwe.

Eight more teams.

will secure their places through regional qualification tournaments.

And I've wanted that name.

I'm Pakistani.

I've wanted that name for a child since I was 12 years old.

I said, if I ever have a daughter, her name will be Layla.

They're happy to hear your learnings, your point of view.

But increasingly, they want to know – this phrase kind of makes me nuts because I don't eat ham.

I grew up Pakistani.

How the sausage was made.

I've talked about this publicly many times.

But on the night that we captured Abu Zubaydah in March of 2002, we caught him in a safe house in Faisalabad, Pakistan.

One of the things that we confiscated that night was his diary.

And so...

He had surgery to treat three gunshot wounds.

We shot him.

The Pakistanis shot him while he was trying to escape that night.

And so I was so sleepy I was afraid I was going to fall asleep and he was going to escape somehow.

What are the assortment of troops that Ansarullah are now finding on the battlefield or is that yet to happen?

I didn't think there is, there are like confirmed reports that when Yemeni have launched attack against Saudi-backed forces, the military base, south of Yemen, maybe a few weeks ago, that several Pakistani soldiers and officers were injured.

It yet like to be confirmed because as well Saudi soldiers, but of course they will hide it.

Still Pakistan, they do want to be exposed that they are sending troops toward Yemen.

what's already happening.

Like you see in different countries, we've noticed like Norway, India, Pakistan, Italy, like there's so many, Canada, all these different weather events, whether they be wildfires or flooding, the Philippines, just Thailand, other places that are going through it, like weather-wise.

they're having their whole climates kind of torn apart, especially with back-to-back disasters.

And sometimes it won't just be in the same, it may not be in the same year, it may be a few years, like one event, a weather event one year, and then a few years later, another event.
