Egyptian army chief was in Pakistan today. Iranian FM is due Wednesday. Turks & Iranians have pledged peace in Yemen. This is good beginning. Saudis cannot sustain a protracted air campaign in Yemen. Pakistan has not joined in. Aggressive back door diplomacy can bring ceasefire soon. This is the moment for Pak Army to play center stage on larger theater. Time to take charge of regional Muslim wars from Afgh to Middle East. US lead NATO of European countries who are much more divided within than Muslims. Muslim nations can surely do better. Pakistan must take charge.
Iran & Turkey want trade in mutual currencies, abandoning $ or Euro. But they must know that financial freedom needs solid military to guard. The Iran nuke deal leaves Iran dangerously exposed as well. Its nuclear program will go back years now! Only hope for Iran also to join Pakistan. It is time that Pakistan, Turkey, Iran, SA & Egypt join armies to form a common defense pact, create regional footprint & exert within the ME.
