Pakistan has reportedly informed Iran that it will consider any attack on Saudi Arabia as an attack on itself, according to a single source. The warning underscores the growing regional alignment against Iranian threats and extends Pakistan's security umbrella to the Gulf kingdom.
Pakistan has reportedly warned Iran that any attack on Saudi Arabia will be considered an attack on Pakistan, according to a single source. The statement, if confirmed, would represent a significant expansion of Pakistan's security commitments in the Gulf.
The warning comes amid a backdrop of heightened tensions between Iran and several Gulf states. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Saudi Arabia has warned its citizens of an expected Iranian attack and has condemned Iranian strikes on six countries. Pakistan itself has previously warned that Israel's Lebanon offensive threatens US-Iran talks, and Iran has warned Pakistan that it would directly strike Israel if Lebanon strikes continue.
The credibility of the latest report remains unverified, as it originates from a single channel. No official confirmation from Pakistan's Foreign Ministry or from Iranian sources has been received.
