RIYADH: Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reiterated his country’s condemnation of the Houthi attack on a Saudi vessel and their threat to navigation in the Red Sea during a phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Thursday, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
- The two leaders reviewed the latest regional developments and discussed ongoing efforts to de-escalate tensions
Sharif reaffirmed Pakistan’s steadfast support for the Kingdom’s security, sovereignty and territorial integrity, according to SPA.
The two leaders also reviewed the latest regional developments and discussed ongoing efforts to de-escalate tensions and promote stability across the region.
The call came hours after a Saudi oil tanker was struck in the Red Sea on Thursday morning in an attack claimed by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis, marking a sharp escalation in tensions along one of the world’s busiest shipping routes.
Saudi authorities said the tanker Encelia caught fire after being hit but that all crew members were safely evacuated and measures were taken to secure the vessel.
The Houthis also claimed to have targeted a second Saudi tanker, though that attack has not been independently confirmed.
Yemen’s Houthis have said they are imposing a naval blockade on the Kingdom, a move that has prompted widespread regional and international condemnation.

Nothing good will come out of Pakistan siding with the Saudis, you know it, I know it, and so does everyone else. But then again I'm aware how compromised your establishment is so the onus will be on your citizens to act on this matter.I just report the news.

Even Visas on Arrival was cancelled! What a great deal!Pakistan’s mercenary deal with Saudi Arabia doesn’t get them free gasoline from House of Saud? What kind of deal is that?
No , I was talking search and kill operation by ucavsNot that much.
Remember electronic horizon of AWACS are not designed to track and follow parabolic trajectories that goes out of the atmosphere. For that the most suitable are Spy1 US Navy family radars.
Iran didn’t violate the MOU, the US did, by not controlling Israel in Lebanon and then trying to push ships through the Southern route.Matter of the fact is that Iran could have just as easily sit back, relax and look forward to a long lasting deal with the larger international community supporting it. But it decided to ruin everything instead.
