Speculation Surges That Pakistan Talks Are A Delay Tactic Ahead Of Expanded US Action On Iran

President Trump has made clear that American forces will still be "hanging around" the Persian Gulf area with an eye on Iran, while demanding that the Strait of Hormuz be opened to global energy transit once again.

Some pundits say that Washington needed more time to get large contingencies of Marines and Airborne units in place, possibly for some kind of risky island campaign towards reopening the strait.

This could be the case, as it's also very evident to all that the demands of each side remain far apart, which means the chances for a breakthrough deal which finally ends the war are distant.

Case in point: More than 70 transport planes landed in the Middle East within 24 hours of the ceasefire taking effect. That scale suggests possible preparation for a ground offensive, solidifying suspicion that Trump is using the truce to regroup:

Open-source data of military logistics flights between the US, Europe, and the Mideast region suggests there is indeed an ongoing build-up and posturing of forces happening on the eve of the Pakistan summit

Yep, Trump had been loud and clear about a nation at war destroying an enemy has no reason for a ceasefire... and now he's agreed to a ceasefire... there's a good chance that the real reason is to replenish supplies and give war weary warfighters a chance to rest. Much of what we're doing is via aircraft and flying takes quite a toll on the body. After a certain amount of hours flown during a 30 day and 90 day period, aviators are examined by flight surgeons to determine if they're in any condition to fly more than the normal max flight hours for those time periods. In heavy aircraft you're working at altitude which takes a toll. In fighter aircraft you may also have g pressure which takes a toll on the body.

Another reason for this pause may be for Trump to declare a new phase against Iran a whole new operation as the Executive branch can only wage war for 2 months (I think) without Congressional approval.

It's possible that the US doesn't expect anything out of the talks and just has personal reasons for this short time out.
