A U.S.-Iran War Would Be A Disaster For Afghanistan And An End To Uzbekistan's Policy Of Engagement
Nicholas Trickett, The Diplomat: What a US-Iran War Means for Afghanistan and Uzbekistan

So I remind then 2 years later and ask "Where is the war?"

Wait he did engage. He paid the Ayatollahs and supported the Muslim Brotherhood (Salafists) in Egypt.
