Iran was fighting a war against the United States, but still waved Pakistani oil ships through its Strait of Hormuz blockade, a rare wartime exemption extended to a fellow Muslim nation it considered friendly. That goodwill, Tehran now believes, was exploited. Intelligence sources say those very ships may have been used in ways that benefited the American side, and Iran is furious.
Tehran has termed Islamabad’s conduct a calculated “double game,” a damning accusation against a country it had trusted even amid an active war. The charge has emerged from top intelligence sources cited by News 18.
