What an easy target! Just two well positioned bombs will send them to heaven.

Yeah and in response they'll shut the bab al mandab sending oil prices to unbearable levels for Pakistanis and probably lob a few missiles over to Karachi Port. Really isn't worth making more enemies when we should be focused on the eastern front.

Consider the eastern front done and dusted. May be within an year or two, we would have destroyed whatever covert/overt capabilities we had created over the years in IIOJK. You will also see us renegotiating the IWT with much more favorable terms to Injuns. There is a reason we are creating a new threat on the western border. Watan salaamat rakhnay ke liye salaamati ka dusman bhi to chahiye.
We have now chosen this path of focusing westwards, partly becoming chowkidaar of middle east under Trump's auspices and in turn increasing hostility with Iran. There are already reports out that we have bombed houthis today morning and they have retaliated. Watch out for tomorrow's newspapers.

- Actions of Iran-backed group could trigger Makkah pact, defense minister says
- Islamabad stands with Saudi leaders, people, PM Shehbaz Sharif says
At the same time, Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said that a three-nation defense pact between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye could become operational in the event of aggression against the Kingdom.
The comments are yet another indication that Islamabad considers the attacks by the Iran-backed Yemeni group capable of triggering obligations under the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement, signed by the three countries last month and stipulating that an armed attack on one member would be treated as an attack on all.
In an interview with broadcaster Geo News on Tuesday, Asif warned the Houthis not to exploit the broader US-Iran confrontation to draw Saudi Arabia into the conflict, saying that it would be doing so “at its own peril.”
“Unprovoked aggression or spillover of whatever is happening in Yemen into Saudi Arabia will definitely make this agreement operational,” he said.
“No one should have any doubt in this. We are bound by the terms and conditions of this pact. God willing, we will honor them in case there is a need.”
The Houthis, who control much of northern Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, launched drones and missiles at Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan and Najran on Tuesday, striking energy facilities and injuring civilians, many of them women and children.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attacks, saying that they violated Saudi sovereignty and that the Kingdom had the right under international law to take necessary measures to defend itself.
“Pakistan stands in unwavering solidarity with the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the brotherly people of Saudi Arabia,” he said on X.
“Such dastardly attacks threaten innocent lives as well as regional peace and security. We reaffirm our steadfast support for the Kingdom’s sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and pray for the swift recovery of all those injured.”
Pakistan’s foreign office said on Tuesday that Islamabad condemned “the reprehensible attacks carried out by the Houthi militia against civilian and economic targets in Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan and Najran in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
“Consistent with the UN Charter and international law, Pakistan fully supports the Kingdom’s legitimate right to take all necessary measures to defend its territory, protect its citizens and residents and safeguard its national assets against any threat.”
Speaking to Arab News on Wednesday, Pakistani Foreign Office spokesperson Sajjad Haider Khan reiterated those comments and Sharif’s tweet.

Bro, with all due respect it seems these iranians now taking over and shitting their nonsense in every middle east thread. We’re getting thread bans from their overreaching mods. Where are the Pakistani admins??
Is this still a Pakistani forum? Time to reign them in or many of us will just leave if this forum will just be echo chamber for iranian propaganda
(Where we non-iranian-lackeys will be now a minority)
The Admins of this site need to decide. I have no problem leaving if you guys gonna give them a pass everytime. Its not my fault they’re at war with america.
Then they wonder why entire world stllhates them and sanctions them. While they actively have agenda to see KSA destroyed and turned into rubble. Look at their rejoicing at any saudi facilities being hit.

What wrong did Saud family do? Are you blind? They brought down the Khalifat. They got into bed with the Zionists and helped create the petro-dollar system used by the Jews to take us all for a ride. They house multiple including some of the biggest bases for the US to cause mass destruction of the Middle East. They helped fund ISIS. They bombed innocent Yemeni causing death and famine.
The list is endless, but seems like you have a veil over your eyes.
