Amid the ongoing US-Israel war against Iran, Pakistan has expressed readiness to support Saudi Arabia “whenever needed”.
Speaking to Bloomberg TV, Prime Minister’s spokesperson for Foreign Media Mohsarraf Zaidi has said it is unquestionable that Islamabad will come to Riyadh’s aid “no matter what and no matter when”. Zaidi’s remarks are to be taken amid escalating tensions in the Middle East after the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran on February 28, with Tehran retaliating by targeting US bases across the Gulf region, including Saudi Arabia, with missiles and drones. Although Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has expressed regret over strikes in regional countries, Tehran has maintained that it will target those sites which are used to launch attacks on its soil.
