Deceitful Pakistan  (Pakistan ) 

Mecca Defense Pact: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey had entered into a joint defense agreement known as the Mecca Defense Pact. The agreement stipulated that an armed attack on any one of the three nations—Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, or Turkey—would be considered an attack on all three, and they would collectively counter it. However, Pakistan    (Pakistan )  has now backed away from this agreement following major missile and drone attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on key Saudi oil and military installations.

What did Pakistan’s Defense Minister say?
Pakistan’s Defense Minister, Khawaja Asif, stated that he expects Iran to rein in the Houthi rebels. Since Iran is an Islamic nation and Pakistan shares a rapport with it, he believes there will be no need for Pakistan to intervene. Meanwhile, responding to a question during a press briefing, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Sajjad Haider Khan said, “There is no discussion on such matters at the moment. We will take action under the agreement when the right time comes.”

Pakistan’s stance shifts abruptly
Until recently, Pakistan had adopted a stern tone regarding the attacks on Saudi Arabia, but Islamabad’s stance has now suddenly shifted. Pakistan has clarified that no military action is currently under discussion; this implies that when the alliance—which Pakistan had previously cited to warn its enemies—faced its first major test, Islamabad hit the brakes. The Foreign Ministry stated that while Houthi militants are indeed carrying out attacks, such incidents have occurred in the past, and the current situation does not warrant the deployment of Pakistani troops.

Pakistan had misled Trump as well

In reality, General Asim Munir signed the Mecca Pact with Saudi Arabia to keep the Pakistani public under a false impression; the condition was that Pakistan would deploy its troops if Saudi Arabia came under attack. Now that the Houthis have launched an attack, Pakistani leaders are merely engaging in empty rhetoric. Pakistan had previously misled Trump by claiming it could broker a deal with Iran—or even force it to surrender—but its bluff was called when the actual discussions took place; its claims proved hollow. Now, following the attack on Saudi Arabia, Pakistan has once again been thoroughly exposed, and the situation has backfired on it. Having positioned itself as such a staunch supporter of Iran, how could it possibly send troops to fight against the Houthis?
