Pakistan's defense minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, has pledged to use "whatever means are available" to defend Saudi Arabia against Iran-backed Houthi rebels, signaling a potential escalation in regional tensions. The statement comes amid growing concerns over the conflict in the Middle East, where Houthi rebels have intensified attacks on Saudi Arabia. Asif did not confirm whether Pakistani forces had already participated in airstrikes, but emphasized that the military's capabilities would be available to support Saudi Arabia. This marks one of the clearest indications yet of Islamabad's willingness to directly engage in the conflict. The situation highlights the complex geopolitical landscape in the region, with Pakistan navigating its relationships with both Saudi Arabia and Iran. As tensions rise, the potential for increased military involvement by Pakistan remains a key point of observation.
