I only used Pakistan as an example as it’s like the only Muslim nation that actually has nuclear weapons. And I do remember reading a couple months back that Pakistan said they would defend Iran if they were attacked by US. I can’t remember where I read it though, so I can’t verify it, but it’s why I used it as my example.
I mean from Pakistan’s perspective an unstable Iran is bad news for them because they’re a borderline failed state. There’s series of independence movements in Balochistan and Sindh. Also the Taliban wants annex half the country to unite all the Pashtuns and India wants to annex all of Kashmir. So I could definitely see them supporting the Iranian regime. I don’t think your assumption there is wrong. There’s validity in using Pakistan as your example. It’s just a matter of how far they’re willing to go. I simply don’t see any scenario of Pakistan using their nukes under any circumstance related to Iran, and I don’t think Pakistan will do anything to trigger a war with the US, especially something as extreme as nuking the Ford carrier.
