Pakistan threatens to wipe Iran off the map if Saudi harmed

Looks like Israel doesn't have much to worry about after all.

It's a cluster-uknowhat over there. Pakistan wouldn't have a problem with Iran wiping out Israel, so the connection you made makes no sense. The Shia and Sunni hate each other, and they both hate Jews.

You're absolutely right of course -- but with Iran, Saudi and Pakistan fighting amongst themselves, Israel does come out ahead. Also of note: Israel is being very very quiet about it so as not to spoil a good thing, but ISIS fighting Syrian and Iraqi forces likewise sidetracks a whole lot of Muslims that wanna kill them.

What Israel must undoubtedly worry about is what happens after the dust settles and somebody actually wins these wars or prospective wars.

I do wonder how serious Pakistan is here. They probably have the military might to carry out their threats against Iran, but only if they completely turn their backs on their own personal boogieman, India.

Pakistan is doing what its primary benefactor - Saudi Arabia - wants it to do, which is to pressure Iran from the east. I'm surprised it took so long for the Pakistanis to make the announcement.

Saudi's other patron states (Sudan, UAE Kuwait and Bahrain) all cut diplomatic ties to Iran after SA did. Pakistan shares a very long border in its Baluchistan region with Iran, which makes it slightly harder to simply cut relations. This public statement is a pretty good 'second best.'

What is the relationship of Pakistan and Saudi? Sunnis? Or is it a pro Western thing

They're not so much pro-Western as they are having a common enemy with the West (Iran). They are both Sunni countries that hate the Shiites.

It would likely happen as well since Pakistan has a professional military, and not the Joke force that the Iranians have.
