Unfortunately, it's too late for that and really it's unavoidable - though Pakistan can do much do for the two and fro Muslims in general I think, if it choose to, that is.
wuud take a balancing act....
funny thing is, i had lunch with some Saudi nationalist-leaning chest-thumping type which i dont often come across.......dont think i ever had...
he gleefully was saying "we guys paid you for some nukes....we have nukes now" and I just simply laughed and looked at him funny. They really think that Pakistan would just blindly give them nuclear bombs. They are an ally nation, but quite frankly I dont think they have even half the intelligence to know how to fire one.
actually, the Iran-Saudi rivalry is one that is a great shame to the Muslim world......they are 2 sides of the same coin. 2 irresponsibly-run countries that only care about spreading their influence, often using religious seminaries of their own kind as a way to spread it.
as i said --- we should simply ignore both.....if they want to verbally and physically abuse eachother then it shouldnt be our problem. We should have nothing at all to do with it.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. KSA and Iran are both of our brotherly nations. We as Pakistan need to keep our relations cordial with both of them. We need to stop trying to factor in as a balance of power, but rather as a mediator. This silly conflict between them has nothing to do with us. We have Sunnis, and the second largest population of Shia muslims after Iran. We should be better and acknowledge that both parties are Muslim. Have either of these countries shown support to Pakistan when it comes to Kashmir? The answer is obvious. We need to stop getting into regional hostilities and think global.
it becomes a problem when they use countries like Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and even Pakistan to stage their stupid proxy wars, some of which take an ideological component to them
if our leaders had balls, they would be very clear on this
