Recent Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia are causing concern in Pakistan, fearing the nation could be pulled into a broader conflict between the US and Iran. Islamabad is frustrated by the escalating tensions and the potential impact on regional stability. These attacks complicate Pakistan’s aspirations to act as a potential mediator between Washington and Tehran. The situation presents a delicate challenge for Pakistan, which maintains relatively close ties with both Saudi Arabia and Iran. Officials in Pakistan are worried about being forced to choose sides in a potential confrontation. The attacks highlight the risks of further regional escalation and the difficulties of de-escalation efforts. Pakistan seeks to avoid involvement while maintaining diplomatic channels with all parties involved.
