Honestly I think Pakistan should
cancel a mutual defense pact with Saudi Arabia if it is pushing us to war with Iran (a lot of resources and strong capabilities) which will cause massive damage to our country.
It is not worthy - we are very limited and poor economically with a
45% poverty level.
Pakistan Says Ready to Support Saudi Arabia After Attacks
Pakistan will come to the aid of Saudi Arabia whenever needed, the spokesperson for the country’s Prime Minister said, as Iran retaliates against US-Israeli strikes by hitting Gulf nations.

(Bloomberg) —
Pakistan will come to the aid of Saudi Arabia whenever needed, the spokesperson for the country’s Prime Minister said, as Iran retaliates against US-Israeli strikes by hitting Gulf nations.
Saudi Arabia and nuclear-armed Pakistan, which shares a border with Iran, signed a defense pact in September last year, elevating their long-standing security partnership which is being tested by the Middle East crisis.
Mosharraf Zaidi said in an interview with Bloomberg TV on Wednesday that
there was “no question we might, we will” come to Saudi Arabia’s aid “no matter what and no matter when.”
“The real question is what is Pakistan doing to make sure things don’t come to a point where any of its closest partners are further embroiled in a conflict that could potentially undermine stability and prosperity in the region,” he added.
Tehran has maintained missile strikes on Gulf states for more than a week in a war with the US and Israel, a seismic conflict that’s reverberated worldwide. Saudi Arabia said Saturday that it intercepted drones that were heading toward a major oil field, the latest energy asset to be targeted in a conflict that’s triggered a surge in crude and gas prices.
At the weekend, Pakistan’s army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir visited Saudi Arabia to meet with the nation’s Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman Al Saud and the two discussed joint measures to halt Iranian drone and missile strikes on the kingdom.
Saudi Arabia has made arrangements to support Pakistan’s supply of oil and diesel since the conflict started, Zaidi said in the interview, as a global fuel crisis hits the import-dependent nation particularly hard. The Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik told local media that fuel was being supplied via Yanbu – a Saudi port in the Red Sea far from the effectively shut off Strait of Hormuz.
The Pakistani Navy has also announced that its warships would escort the country’s commercial vessels to ensure safe energy supply.
Lahore-based international relations expert Rashid Ahmad Khan said there has been “little clarity” around the defense pact, but that “Pakistan might be asked to secure Hormuz” as part of the agreement.
Pakistan, which has seen large scale protests against the US-Israel strikes led by its Shia population, is “highly unlikely” to attack Iran but could provide power “defending against drone attacks and technical military support on Saudi soil”, he added.
Islamabad hiked fuel prices on Saturday by the highest ever margin, a painful measure in a country where 29% of people live below the poverty line, and imposed a dozen cost-cutting and fuel saving measures that include freezing cabinet salaries, shutting schools and moving to a four-day work week. Zaidi said stocks were “stable to good” with the arrival of three shipments this week and another next week.
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has had “constant conversations” with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi since the war broke out, Zaidi said.

Saudi Arabia is definitely involved to assist Epstein Coalitions.
Please focus only on Afghanistan and India, that's best way.
