* Pakistan is not joining the military offensive
* Our support will be limited to diplomacy & planning and logistics.

* Pakistan will make sure no direct war between GCC and Iran takes place

* We want to help Saudi reclaim its backyard from Huthis, AQIAP and ISIS before it further destabilises the region.

* Iran has no beef with Pakistan, it knows that it has never supported Pakistan over India, therefore Pakistan is not duty bound to remain neutral in Yemen,

you already sent your submarine and navy around Iran ... we hear the news ...

What good that be?
Pakistan can not afford direct confrontation with Iran economically.

People on this forum seem to have serious problem with reading comprehension.

Read my post again.

I had clearly stated that Arabs do not need your hardware which is 100% true. They need your Generals and war planners.

If they want grunts, they could but them from open market.



What worry? Isn't this a defence forum?

I started this thread to have discussion over the fallout of Pakistan joining anti-Shia coalition would have over Iran-Pakistan-India relations.

There is no India here.

simply , they sent message that they are ready to begin a war with us ... and their navy is ready to attack us ...

Saudi Arabia, allies launch air strikes against Houthis in Yemen - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

Fallout of Pakistan participating in Shia-Sunni war on side of Saudi Arabia on Iran-Pakistan relation is of importance to India, hence the discussion.It is not that difficult to understand.

Why don't people read OP!

Not credible info. No deployment has taken place from Pak so far. If we do, it will be announced.

Pakistan will not participate in conflict that divides Muslim Ummah: Khawaja Asif

"Our pledge is to protect the territorial integrity of KSA", said Khawaja Asif in the National Assembly today ─ Reuters/File

ISLAMABAD: Federal Defence Minister Khawaja Asif in the National Assembly elucidated Pakistan's role in the Yemen conflict, saying that no decision to participate has been taken and that Pakistan has only pledged to safeguard the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
He stressed on Pakistan's role as 'facilitator' to end the conflicts in the Muslim world.
"Instead of aggravating the situation by participating in it, Pakistan should do what it can to prevent it ─ for the alliance and unity of the Muslim world," the defence minister said. "Pakistan is ready to adopt whatever role is needed in order to facilitate the termination of conflicts in the Islamic world."
"We will not take part in any conflict that could result in differences in the Muslim world, causing fault-lines present in Pakistan to be disturbed, the aggravation of which will have to be borne by Pakistan," he asserted.
The defence minister's statement comes a day after Saudi Arabia said that Pakistan will join its operation against Iran-backed Shia Houthi rebels in Yemen, for a conflict that is rapidly escalating into a murky civil war. The minister's announcement today apparently rules out Pakistan's immediate participation in the Yemen conflict.
"We want this issue to be resolved in a common forum where the Muslim world or Arab League is involved," said the defence minister. "The need of the hour is alliance and solidarity, not division."
"Division on the basis of religion or sect is rising in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Instead of conflagration or proliferation ... It should be contained," he added.
"I reiterate, this pledge is for the protection of KSA ... if the sovereignty or territorial integrity of Saudi Arabia is threatened then Pakistan will defend it."
He went on to say that no decision to take part in the Yemeni conflict has been made by the government.
"We offered to visit [KSA] so we can assess the situation. The Arab League took up this matter, hopefully they will be able to resolve the matter in a forum. They can also take it to the OIC. We will see what happens in a couple of days. if we have to visit, we will definitely go there."

I think PA involvement will be more defensive rather than joining in operations.

It is still nevertheless important to remain neutral and PA should only engage if Saudi borders are attacked.

A sigh of relief!

we shouldn't trust Pakistan and their "neutral stance" in first place ...

No one cares about your source. Pakistan just refused to join the war. MOD statement just in.

Dont be a moron. Pakistan has no such intent or harbours any such ambitions of attacking Iran.
