Pakistan’s Defense Minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, stated Tuesday that Pakistan will utilize “whatever means are available” to defend Saudi Arabia. This commitment comes in response to attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels and represents Islamabad’s strongest indication of potential direct involvement in the escalating regional conflict. While not explicitly detailing the deployment of Pakistani forces, the pledge underscores a commitment stemming from the Mecca defense pact. This pact obligates Pakistan to support Saudi Arabia’s defense. The statement follows growing regional tensions and increasing concerns over the impact of the conflict. The announcement signals a significant position taken by Pakistan regarding the situation in Saudi Arabia and its allies. The matter was first reported by the Associated Press and published by Turkish Minute.
