Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
A vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
What we learn from History is that no one learns from History
The oracle consulted by Croesus then sent messengers to Delphi with the following question:
Should he go to war with the Persians?
The Delphic Oracle replied as follows:
If Croesus/Netanyahu goes to war, he will destroy a great empire.
The one and only way in which Netanyahu chose to understand it was this: that if he went to war against the Persians, the Persian empire would fall.He did. "Half a league, half a league onward, into the jaws of death, into the mouth of hell, flew the Israeli."
What Israel did was against international law and launched a surprise attack while under negotiations, and the USA/Trump played their part in the deception, meaning , neither country can ever be trusted again. And most important I believe this will result in the collapse of the West. A great Empire will be destroyed.
According to PTV News, the PM spoke over the phone to Iranian President Dr Masoud Pezeshkian, informing him that Pakistan stands in complete solidarity with the “brotherly people of Iran against Israel’s unprovoked and unjustified aggression”.
“He (the PM) strongly condemned the Israeli attacks against Iran, which are a violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a complete violation of the UN Charter and international law,” the report read. The PM added that Iran has the right to self-defence under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
“The prime minister condemned Israel’s provocations and adventurism, calling them a serious threat to regional and global peace and stability,” PTV News reported. “He also strongly condemned Israel’s unabated acts of brutal genocide against the brave Palestinians.”
According to PTV News, PM Shehbaz urged the international community and the UN to take “immediate and credible steps” against Israeli aggression, stating that Pakistan is fully committed to promoting peace in the region.Pakistan’s Defense Minister #Khawaja_Asif: (Roughly 150 nuclear weapons)

Israel has launched extensive strikes against Iran, targeting nuclear facilities and military assets to prevent Tehran from developing atomic weapons. In response, Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil supply. The strait's potential closure could significantly impact trade and drive up global oil prices, raising concerns about economic stability.
Strait of Hormuz——
A ship passes in Strait of Hormuz
Israel launched widescale strikes against Iran on Friday, saying it targeted nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders during the start of a prolonged operation to prevent Tehran from building an atomic weapon.
Iran, which has denied such intentions, has in the past threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz for traffic in retaliation to Western pressure. Experts have said that any closure of the strait could restrict trade and impact global oil prices.
Below are details about the strait:
The strait lies between Oman and Iran and links the Gulf north of it with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond.
It is 21 miles (33 km) wide at its narrowest point, with the shipping lane just two miles (three km) wide in either direction.
WHY DOES IT MATTER?
About a fifth of the world's total oil consumption passes through the strait, or roughly 20 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil, condensate and fuel.
OPEC members Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq export most of their crude via the strait, mainly to Asia.
The UAE and Saudi Arabia have sought to find other routes to bypass the strait.
Around 2.6 million bpd of unused capacity from existing UAE and Saudi pipelines could be available to bypass Hormuz, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in June last year.
Qatar, among the world's biggest liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporters, sends almost all of its LNG through the strait.
Iran has threatened over the years to block the strait but has never followed through.
The U.S. Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain, is tasked with protecting commercial shipping in the area.
Thanks for the column! I was very happy to hear of Pakistan's support for Iran since they possess nuclear warheads. If Israel strikes Iran with nukes or if Iran becomes near extinction from Israel's superior weaponry and air power, Pakistan seems likely to counterattack. I haven't enjoyed an engagement more. With Pakistan's nuclear capability and pledge of solidarity with Iran, we have a whole new game. I don't wish for nuclear war in the ME, but if Israel insists, so be it. So few people understand this conflict. The Israelis are largely Khazarians, and people worldwide know little about their history, cultural heritage, and psyche. They're the "palace guards" or "palace elite force" used by the bloodlines, imo.
If it makes short term business sense, it shall be done. Short term could be as little as one millisecond. Nothing personal, just business, as the mafias say.
