According to sources cited by Jin10 Data on September 18, Pakistan's Army Chief has urged Iran to rein in Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, leveraging the mutual defense agreement between Pakistan and Riyadh as a key bargaining chip. Pakistani officials pressed Iran to warn the Houthis against further escalation, stating that if Saudi Arabia invoked the mutual defense clause of the security pact signed last year, Pakistan might be compelled to come to Saudi Arabia's defense. The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported that Pakistan's de facto leader, Field Marshal Munir, visited Tehran last month to meet with Iranian President Pezeshkian and other leaders, and has held multiple phone calls with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, most recently on Thursday. Two sources familiar with recent discussions said that Munir repeatedly asked Iranian leaders to help halt Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and its energy infrastructure, referencing Islamabad's commitments to Riyadh but without issuing specific threats.
