Pakistan-Saudi Arabia mutual defense pact: News & Discussion

[hydrabadi_arab]

Saudi is showing restrain though. If Saudi joins in it will be really difficult for Iran as well as for Pakistan to not pick sides.

It's not like Saudi has no military. It's capable enough to hurt but they're weighing the cards and options

If Pakistan join in and there is no permanent regime change, we got another hostile neighbor for decades to come.

Iran has been pain in the ass but its not Afghanistan or India. And now it looked like they finally started to change in last couple of years after Pakistan fired back in 2024.

So Saudis/GCC better be willing to go all in if they ask Pakistan to join. In any case without ground invasion regime change will remain a pipe dream. And these regime changes usually are not permanent either. The Israelis got their wish, now muslim countries will fight each other to death.

KSA is completely peaceful and nothing of worth has been touched let alone destroyed. Life continues as normal in every sphere, whether daily life, sports, international events, Umrah, economy etc.

In fact KSA is the biggest beneficiary of this conflict so far.

95% of what is reported on this forum and on X is utter delusional nonsense.

A good example:

https://x.com/Salansar1/status/2035096354846830815

Iran has had 10.000's of casualties, their leadership annihilated, 100's of billions of USD in material loses, most of their Air Force and navy annihilated, their missiles severely depleted, 100's of bases targeted and other infrastructure.

KSA in return has lost 2 people (1 Indian and 1 Bangladeshi expat), no material damage whatsoever other than very limited damage in Ras Tanura and Yanbu and nothing of worth destroyed in the Prince Sultan Air Base.

No amount of firecrackers (drones and Russian/Chinese/North Korean origin missiles) is going to change anything of notice in a country like KSA which is 1.5 times the size of Iran.

During the past 3-4 weeks KSA has made more money selling oil than the previous 3 months:

Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Oil Exports Jump To Nearly 4 Million bpd | OilPrice.com

Saudi Arabia's oil exports through the Red Sea port of Yanbu are projected to reach a record 3.8 million barrels per day, bypassing the blockaded Strait of Hormuz despite new risks from regional conflicts.

While the Arabized Mullah enemy regime is getting carpet bombed and humiliated in front of the entire world, 1 sovereign wealth fund from KSA (PIF) has within just the span of 12 months earned the equivalent of 3/4 of the entire Iranian GDP.

Ukrainians are probably the most talented and capable people in the world in this regard. Their experience and sharing of intelligence is invaluable. KSA has been a good friend towards Ukraine as well and KSA is trusted by Ukraine.

Numerous Chinese drones have been made within KSA for years - several local alterations exist as well.

Extremely interesting what our friend Faisal Abbas spoke about concerning the KSA-Ukraine deal of purchasing Ukraine drone technology. Apparently the Ukrainian army has great success stopping Russian drones with drones that cost just 1000 USD to produce. KSA will acquire this technology and in return help Ukraine economically.

Mullah regime supporters are living in some alternative universe where they are somehow "winning" by being carpet bombed 24/7.

Zero damage to the US and Israel as well. Less than 20 US and Israeli soldiers killed. It is all a big joke. Targeting infrastructure in tiny Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar (extremely limited overall) is some kind of victory now?

Iraqi Sunni Arab insurgents armed with light weaponry, on a good day, used to kill at times, 20 US soldiers, in a single day (sometimes more) during the height of the insurgency. Just to put it into perspective.

It is very hilarious to witness the usual suspects and their usual comedy in this regard. Personally I am having many good laughs reading some of the nonsense here and elsewhere. Long may it continue.

As for wars with Iranians - they are yet to win a single war against Arabs in their entire history - so let us not even go there.

With such an expensive airforce and air defence like PAC3 and THAAD you could have saved that 1 Indian and Bangladeshi but you could not..... Reality today is Iran has made you a landlocked country.... from your east cost no ship can leave without Iranian approval or without paying toll.... You can't do anything about it.... your west coast in red sea you have Huthis.... total mess Iran has made out of Saudi Arabia....
Whatever the low casualties are there thats just because of your huge landmass with very low density population....

They were killed by debris. 2 casualties to date after 4 weeks of conflict and 600 + drones and 100 + missiles is nothing. That is in fact hugely impressive and a testament to the strength of the Saudi Arabian Air defense. Something that we demonstrated for years against the Houthis next door.

Indian ignorance as usual. KSA has free access to the Red Sea, both the Northern route (Europe) and Southern (Arabian Sea) since the Houthis have never blocked any KSA vessels whether military or civilian to date. Let alone for the past 5 years where there has been peace and the Houthis have not even fired a single projectile at KSA.

KSA has direct access through Yemen (KSA controls 90% of Yemen and 90% of the Yemeni coastline after we threw the Abu Dhabi regime out of Yemen within a few days) to the Arabian Sea, as well as through allied Oman and UAE emirates such as Sharjah.

But still doesn't it feels painful to you when you cannot access Hormuz strait with full authority? You were 2 coastline country now you want to feel happy with single coastline....

 

[hydrabadi_arab]

I suggest you read up about the newest ballistic missiles that KSA is producing (since 10-15 years) within KSA itself.

Go visit the section that I linked to on the Arab forum.


Troll post. Nothing of value has been hit in KSA by Iran and that is despite KSA facilitating attacks on Iran 24/7. It has been less than 4 weeks. Wait a bit and you will see that KSA will/could easily enter and harm Iran infinitely more than anything that they can do to KSA. The only reason is that KSA has far more to lose because we are not a failed, sanctioned and impoverished entity like Iran.

Iran cannot do anything to KSA other than what they have already done and if the current regime will survive they will be crippled and remain a likely failed, impoverished and sanctioned entity with nothing of worth other than drones (which are a nuisance and nothing else) and a very limited amount of missiles that cannot do much in the greater picture either.

SA have to do nothing. Israel-USA will destroy Iran infrastructure and in return Iran will destroy Saudi Arabia/GCC.

Question all GCC is asking is can USA regime change Iran on permanent basis? If not then GCC got destroyed for nothing.

How do you know whether KSA vessels are leaving KSA ports on the Arabian Gulf? I have seen that occurring on OSINT accounts. How do you think that India, Pakistan, China and others are getting Saudi Arabian oil? Exactly on those tankers leaving the area.

Also this is temporary - Iran is already backtracking allowing more and more countries to pass. They cannot take this key trade area of the world as hostage permanently - everyone is well aware of this. The world powers will not allow this and the Mullah regime are not completely suicidal - their main end goal is to stay in power after all.

More delusion and fantasy. Nothing is destroyed in KSA. Indeed, the pathetic, sanctioned, failed and impoverished Mullah regime has been exposed as they have targeted the GCC (small GCC states in particular) 6 times more than Israel itself which is carpet bombing them 24/7. That should tell people all about what they are and represent. if their destruction across the region and opportunistic meddling since 1979 was not enough of proof, within Pakistan itself too. To the point of them recruiting gullible Pakistanis and using them as cannon fodder in Syria and elsewhere for years. I also recall them bombing you with ballistic missiles too not long ago as well as being best buddies with your main enemy India. This love story seems to continue today. Enjoy.

However I have news for you. The Mullah regime in Iran is not going to rule forever and if they even survive they will reform significantly - by force from outsiders.

There is a reason why Iran had much better relations with KSA and other Arab countries AND Pakistan prior to 1979 than since. However gullible people here, mostly based in the West ironically, fail to realize this.

India, China and Pakistan are getting it because Iran is allowing it for these countries..... Temporary or forever... it does not have any meaning.... I will die out of shame if some country blocks India's west, east or south coast and India is feeling happy for being able to use 1 coast line....

Comparing apples and oranges. You do not border any such small body of water. Other than that Arabia itself is the largest peninsula in the world - larger than India itself and as I already wrote KSA has free access to the Arabian Sea and wider Indian Ocean through Oman, Yemen and UAE (Sharjah etc.).

Same thing - those tankers are carrying Saudi Arabian oil and KSA is earning more money than ever before. Some humiliation.

And as I wrote KSA has the Red Sea completely open - our most important body of water by far and longest.

Indian peninsula is larger @_Arabia_

Just look at India map.... this peninsula starts from Gujarat in west that borders with Pakistan and west Bengal in east that borders with Bangladesh and then straight goes till Kanyakumari in south.... India landmass is almost twice the size of Saudi Arabia and half of India is just a peninsula....

In other news, could Israel ever use tactical nukes on Iran? What stops them using them in say a few weeks time when Iran's drone and missile arsenal will be depleted even further (I suspect that the Mullah regime is getting active support from Russia and China - in particular satellite imagery which they do not possess otherwise - Zelenskiy alluded to this publicly) if they want a "permanent end" to those Iranian nuclear sites? Who would actually do anything about this or put Israel in its place? As long as they enjoy the full support and protection of the US - I don't see what could theoretically stop them.

All they need is some excuse of Dimona being hit (not the case to date) or something similar. Or historical sites in Al-Quds for instance that wall of theirs that they prostate to as clowns.

Also I forgot that in case the Mullah regime goes full retard and starts targeting civilian areas in KSA, we could in return (if we go full retard as well) target the Iranian nuclear reactor Bushehr (operated and build by Russians) which would render most of Southern Iran inhospitable. Iran could do the same with the Barakah nuclear plant in UAE.

However I do not believe that we will reach this level. Same with other vital targets. Iran is mostly firing drones nowadays as well. I doubt that they have that many missiles left. I would be surprised if they could keep it up for 1 month more or at most 2. If this war/conflict continues for years (highly unlikely) they would capitulate sooner rather than later - in the sense of their offensive power projection (which in essence in their case is limited to their missiles and drones since they have no ai force of note - and what was left has mostly been completely destroyed - same with their navy) being reduced to almost zero.

Also I don't really believe that Israel or the US wants regime change. I think that they would be more than satisfied with a crippled and failed Mullah regime that would continue to lay waste on Iran.

If Iran gets a sane regime they could become a competitor.

Same modus operandi that Israel used for years in Syria during the Al-Assad regime. To this day they would have preferred a failed Syria under Al-Assad to have been in power rather than this new Syria that has the potential to be rebuild.

Same way I am convinced that they would prefer for the Houthi cult to stick around and prevent the rise and potential of a unified Yemen - one less competitor in the region.

I wrote India. Not the Indian subcontinent.

Arabia/Arabian Peninsula is one region of the Arab world. For instance the Arab world spans 2 continents and has direct uninterrupted borders from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arabian Sea/Indian Ocean in the East. You can walk on foot from Oman to Morocco and never leave any Arab state. If one country - only Russia would be larger.

India is around 1.46 times larger than KSA. The more south countries are on the map the less big they appear.

For example Africa is enormous.



but on a world map Russia looks many times larger.

Pakistan relations have never been better with Iran post 1979 after we fired back in 2024..

Israel can nuke the f out of Iran but if Saudi Arabia need to create detterence then they will have to retaliate. This isnt in Pakistan interest but thats how the world works.

Iran isnt going anywhere, its 90m people nation and huge landmass.

Even pro west Iran will be pain in the ass for GCC. So dont be happy because Israel/USA is bombing Iran for their own interests now. Unless Iran know they will get hit back hard then even pro zionist Iran will be pain in the ass for GCC. And then they dont will have to worry about USA/Israel bombs.

Think about the future.

1. Create detterence by hitting Iran hard.

2. Ask US to leave. They will leave anyway once so called pro Israel regime is installed in Iran but that will not guarantee GCC security. It will probably be worse as now Israel/USA will arm Iran.

Otherwise now Iran knows where to fire 90% of their missiles and drones.

 

[_Arabia_]

I think China-Pakistan-KSA should form a close military cooperation that secures the future maritime route in the gulf region.

Many here seem to think that my dislike and criticism of the Iranian regime and their policies in the region since 1979 is some kind of dislike of ordinary non-hostile Iranians (not the case there are millions of Iranian Arabs and Arabia and South Iran in particular next door have had millennia old ties and close people to people ties - GCC hosts the largest Iranian diaspora in the world - 100.000's of Iranian (Iranian Arabs, Sunni Persians, Lurs, Baloch) have migrated to the GCC and have now since ages assimilated and intermarried and vice vers (millions upon millions of Iranians have Arab or partial Arab ancestry all those black turbans that you see claim direct paternal Arab ancestry from father to son etc - Khomeini, Khameini) - the Safavids that converted Iran forcefully from Sunni to Shia Islam in the 15th century imported a large amount of Shia Arab clerics to convert the Iranian masses - mostly from modern-day Eastern KSA, South Iraq and South Lebanon. Most of the Iranian Shia clergy are descendants of those Arabs that settled in Iran. We are talking about only 10-15 generations.

Iranian Wikipedia users are constantly trying to erase/distort this history

Safavid conversion of Iran to Shia Islam - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

but you can read scholarly articles about this topic. Prior to 1979 many of the Iranian Shia clergy (Ayatollah's etc) were based in the Arab world even. Khomeini for instance - big mistake - he should have been expelled/denied access.

That is why the Mullah regime are this obsessed about the Arab world. This was not the case under the Shah prior to 1979. Here relations were mostly cordial and unlike pro-Pahlavi Iranian diaspora in the West - the Shah was a practicing Muslim who performed Hajj and Umrah numerous times and was buried in Cairo no less.

There is a considerable segment of Iranian society that for the past 1400 years has resented the religious, cultural, linguistic (Farsi is heavily influenced by Arabic - they use the Arabic alphabet with just 4 new characters), ethnical (millions of Arabs live in Iran and many more no longer identity as Arab but have Arab ancestry -.confirmed by every DNA tests) - basically Arabs changed Iran forever 1400 years ago and those changes have lasted for more than half of their recorded history (2/3 almost). So they blame Arabs for everything that has failed within Iran even though the Islam that the Mullah's have imposed on Iran have nothing to do with the Islam that is followed elsewhere. This has created a large amount of anti-Muslim Iranians who hate Islam - something that was very uncommon under the Shah ironically.

After 1979 they started to export their Islamic revolution (considered as heretics by vast majority of the world's Muslims - 90% - hence why they failed anywhere where non-Shias are) by force and by propping up proxies, terrorist proxies and interfering opportunistically in war torn Arab countries. This is how the hostilities began. Like any other revolutionary state they needed to expand. In return KSA/GCC/many Arab states started to fund Saddam against Iran during the 1980-1988 war and since then it has largely been problematic despite more friendly ties (during the Khatami era for instance) or in recent years until this mess started by the US and Israel and Iran.

Any way in many ways you can draw parallels to the China (Arabs) - Japanese (Iran) relations historical. The Japanese too have been influenced by the Chinese on almost every front but they continue to deny it.

You will never find any Arab acting this deranged like this example. I challenge anyone to find anything remotely similar:

KSA is a country named after the current dynasty that has been ruling KSA since the early 1700's. For 306 years to be precise. Just like large parts of India was called Mughal Empire (named after the ruling dynasty) or the many various Chinese dynasties. Most recent Qing Dynasty.

Modern-day KSA is composed of various historical regions of Arabia - main ones Hejaz, Najd and parts of historical North Arabia (which is shared with modern-day Syria, Jordan, Iraq etc.), South Arabia (shared by modern day Yemen and southwestern Oman) and East Arabia (shared between Iraq all the way to Northern Oman).

Since what is today KSA contains so many historical regions within our borders we could not be called Kingdom of Hejaz, Najd, North, South and East Arabia etc. but it was reduced to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932 when the unification process ended. Why Saudi? Because it was named after the father of the founder of the First Saudi State:

So to simplify it, it was reduced to Saudi (as in the individual - founding fathers's father's name - which gave name to the ruling dynasty itself) and Arabia.

Prior to 1932 it was Kingdom of Hejaz and Najd for instance. After additional territorial gains (regaining what the dynasty/country had lost in prior centuries) many additional territories were added so the name became erroneous as the country was composed of much more than just Hejaz and Najd.

A little historical and etymological lesson.

But it will always be Arabia anyway and the Arabian peninsula regardless of dynasty ruling or system (monarchy, republic, caliphate or whatever).

Also another thing I see on this forum and elsewhere is this stupid "Persian Gulf Country" nonsense. There is no such thing. Anymore than Iran is a "Gulf of Oman country" or "Arabian Sea country". Khaleej in Arabic (means Gulf - the Persians adopted this name from Arabic - they use the same Arabic word) designates an Arabic dialect (which ironically is spoken in Southern Iran as well) that is spoken in mostly Eastern Arabia (historical region):

Nobody in KSA, other than the around 250.000 Khaleeji Arabic (Gulf Arabic) speakers in KSA call themselves "Gulf Arabs".
