Pakistan Army has warned Iranian delegates during the Islamabad talks that Iran does not have military means to fend off American air strikes using Chinese-made anti-air missiles, as Pakistan has its own failure with Chinese-made anti-air missiles during the Indian operation Sindoor.
Pakistan told Iranian negotiators that the U.S./Israeli air strikes could completely destroy Iran’s civilian and commercial infrastructure.
The next phase of war could mean Iranians will depend on food supplies from the UNHCR and UNICEF if Iran does not surrender its nuclear ambitions.
Benjamin Netanyahu revealed Monday that JD Vance called him immediately after negotiations with Iran collapsed, as the Israeli prime minister warned that Donald Trump’s ceasefire could unravel into all-out war.
The Israeli prime minister held a meeting with his top cabinet officials where he detailed how US negotiations collapsed with the Iranians in Pakistan.
Netanyahu’s comments came just hours before Trump’s 10 AM ET naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is set to go into effect.
‘I spoke yesterday with Vice President JD Vance. He called me from his plane on his way back from Islamabad,’ Netanyahu continued. ‘He reported to me in detail, as this administration does every day, about the development of the negotiations. In this case, the explosion in the negotiations.’
‘The explosion came from the American side, which could not tolerate Iran’s blatant violation of the agreement to enter the negotiations.’
Netanyahu said the collapse in negotiations was triggered after Tehran failed to reopen key access points in the vital oil passageway and refused to commit to ending nuclear enrichment.
The two-week ceasefire brokered by Trump could unravel at any moment, Netanyahu warned, saying: ‘The ceasefire is like a coin — it can flip very quickly.’
Trump is reportedly weighing a return to military strikes on Iran if the naval blockade fails to push the regime back to negotiations, according to Axios. The blockade is part of his broader strategy to deny Tehran leverage over the waterway and force concessions.

The Vance-led peace talks over the weekend saw US officials push the Iranian delegation to freeze all uranium enrichment and hand over their Uranium stockpile.
Another sticking point in the peace talks was how much frozen Iranian money the US would agree to release in exchange for nuclear concessions.
That’s the ceasefire, which was announced at the very last.
Tehran remained dissatisfied with the proposed terms despite nearly 21 hours of negotiations with Vice President.
Addressing his government, Netanyahu stressed that the US and Israel have remained closely aligned throughout the negotiations.
‘The talk as if there is a disconnect between us is the complete opposite. Anyone who was around during this call, and during the daily conversations we hold with the President and his people, his staff, can testify to that,’ Netanyahu added.
‘This is coordination like never before; there is something here that hasn’t happened. It hasn’t happened in the history of the State, and it hasn’t happened in the history of the Jewish people.’
The collapse comes as the US engages in a showdown with Iran as the regime’s naval speedboats try to push back against Trump’s blockade.
Tehran can still threaten shipping in the strait with small speedboats, mines and suspected underwater drones.

Although Washington has dealt a severe blow to Iran’s conventional navy destroying much of its fleet in a series of strikes, Tehran can still threaten shipping in the strait with small speedboats, mines and suspected underwater drones.
The force Tehran relies on to control the Strait of Hormuz is thought to remain largely intact, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Iran’s traditional navy and air force, which operates under the IRGC, has been destroyed by the U.S. air strikes.
However, the paramilitary IRGC maintains a separate fleet built for speed and flexibility to control the passage.
Its arsenal includes nimble boats equipped with missiles, mines and drones, allowing it to threaten and disrupt commercial shipping in ways that are more difficult to counter.
