Houthi Attacks on Saudi Arabia Alarm Pakistan

Unnamed Pakistani officials have warned that further Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia would cross a 'red line' and could compel Pakistan to intervene militarily in support of Riyadh. This follows a mutual defense agreement signed between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia last year. If Pakistan becomes directly involved in the conflict, it would complicate its current role as a mediator between regional powers. The situation highlights the delicate balance Islamabad must maintain between its alliance commitments and its diplomatic mediation efforts.
