Pakistan is shivering inside, debating on TV where to go if America attacks them.

The episode begins with Samit Peer discussing Pakistan's internal fear of an American attack, as debated on Pakistani TV channels. He recounts Pakistan's historical alliance with America and its shift in rhetoric. The conversation moves to Pakistan's missile program, including a failed test in Balochistan with Chinese solid propellant boosters, which led to American sanctions on the CDC. Peer then describes a meeting in Pakistan involving Iranian officials, where a nuclear bomb blueprint was allegedly obtained, followed by the helicopter crash of Iranian President Raisi. He references Tulsi Gabbard's Senate testimony identifying Pakistan and Iran as nuclear threats. The analysis shifts to Iran's military operations, detailing attacks on ports like Bandrabas and preparations in Isfahan.
