There are too many feel-good assumptions in here which would be valid several months ago but reality recently has completely up-turned a number of those assumptions.
For instance China's BRI thru Pakistan is anything but a success. On last reports, Chibese are abandoning BRI projects by either not further investing in them, or by pulling out Chinese personnel working on them as Pakistani non-state actors (terrorists) are killing them in different places, especially near Pak-China border and in Baluchistan. Baluchis (from the biggest province of Pakistan) are dead against BRI as they see the Punjabis short-changing them, usurping their resources without adequate compensation so they continually attack Chinese areas, including killing a diplomat few months ago
Secondly, Iran cannot work with Pakistan. If they could they'd have already over last 75 years. Besides Iran is Shia and Pakistanis can't live together with Shias in their own country. Soon Iran is going to be filing a massive fin compensation claim against Pakistan for not fulfilling their share of pipeline laying of their joint gas pipeline
Thirdly, Pakistan is broke. A default is round the corner. Situation is very grim on the ground for food and essentials woth people dying in dole queues
Fourth, Russia has seen thru the double game Pakistanis love to play and won't tolerate it. Pakistanis are supplying shells to Ukraine while expecting cheap oil from Russia.
Finally, can Pakistan really take Russian oil and be friends with Iran knowing that their true Daddies are Saudis who have always supplied oil and UAE?
Remove Pakistan from the axis
Remove Iran from the axis
