oh plz .... don't show your habit of selective reading and posting a half baked 'TRUTH'
Note: you have posted a link of conversation b/w Kissinger and President Nixon from Dec 04, 1971 and the attached excerpt from Minutes of Meeting of Special Actions Group Washington on Dec 06, 1971 which clarify the legal status of that proposal (which was eventually turn down)
Proposal of Jordanian F-104 for Pakistan:

and for Iranian Help plz see the below attached excerpt from the same source and meeting
View attachment 506729
I urge you to download the whole document (from the same link as posted in your post) and read it rather just posting one or two links
Selective reading?
You would accuse me of doing something you yourself are doing. That is just righteous.
You posted a screenshot of the Washington Special Action Group meeting that took place on the 6th of December 1971.
What you don't realize is, that was just the beginning of the strategizing, at that juncture the Americans were only just deliberating sending the planes.
You forgot about the meetings that took place after the ones you mentioned, during the course of the war and no, those proposals were not turned down.
1st inclination towards circumventing rules and providing pak with the F-104s.

Four planes are already sent now, notice the past tense.

This the final mention of Jordanian planes (17 planes were provided eventually) to Pakistan in the document; also the end of the 1971 war.
Telephone conversation between Nixon and Kissinger, December 16th, 1971.
As for Iran, I was strictly referring to the arms and ammunition part, as the document does not make it absolutely clear if Iran ever did send jets to Jordan.
However, since the Jordanians were clearly very worried about their own defence and now that we know that they did eventually send the F-104s to pakistan one might opine that the Jordanians were indeed provided with Iranian jets. This is of course conjecture on my part .
Onto "military equipment and munitions" to pakistan.
Deliberation and plotting to support pakistan.
Both the Shah and the Americans wanted to help pakistan.
Final mention in the document of Iran supporting pakistan.

Akash SAMS has not solid fuel ramjet but solid duel pulse rocket motor @Vijyes Yechury
That's not true.
Akash indeed uses ramjet rocket propulsion.
