The same people will have call options on Friday:

- Pakistan has a defense treaty with Saudi Arabia.

- Saudi Arabia has been attacked.

- Witkoff claims to negotiate with Iranians in Pakistan and Iran denies it. Witkoff has a horrible track record in that either the negotiations fail or are a precursor to attacks.

- What better way to spend time in Pakistan than to recruit a proxy and promise US money to the cash-strapped government?
