Pakistan has done nothing so far in Yemen and has received deferment of oil payments from KSA, and an offer to connect Chabahar with Gwadar. India is not Iran's first choice they are learning about India the hard way look at how the Iranian FM was received when he visited India vs when he was in Pakistan and the Indians bending over to curb oil imports from Iran. The way it's going right now is KSA offers Pakistan something Iran tries to offer something back, let it continue and remain neutral. With neutrality Iran will think 3 times before supporting terrorism in Pakistan in fear of Pakistan does join Saudi camp.

USA is milking KSA, UAE while Israel is just watching two possible threats to its expansion annihilate each other and responses like yours would just supporting more Muslims dying.

Muslims? Are you talking about Iran? A country who threatened Pakistan and joined hands with India against a common problem which is pakistan.please don't forget the events after bomb blast in Iran.iran is no friend.they are the same Muslims which created lots of proxies against arabs.they don't care about other Muslims.pakistan is not responsible for entire world Muslim population.we aren't a leader.we aren't their master.arabs will never help us again if we stay neutral again.neutral means no role in Arab,no role in Iran.arabs will simply stop giving us importance.neutral is very bad situation for Pakistan.

Wrong. Pakistan hasn't sent any soldiers up until now and they've received over $8b from KSA, UAE (including deferred oil payments) and it would go against what Pakistan's official stance has been for a long time. Another $2-5b won't change anything.


Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been shunned by much of the world after the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggiin October, which the CIA concluded he had ordered. A-list executives pulled out of his Riyadh investment forum (dubbed ‘Davos in the Desert’), street protests greeted his arrival in Tunisia in November, and there were reports Morocco’s King Mohammed VI snubbed him on a visit to the North African country. That wasn’t the case earlier this week in Pakistan, however, which bestowed its highest civilian award on the young Saudi prince, gave him a gold-plated gun, and declared Monday a public holiday in honor of his two-day visit to Islamabad.

“Saudi Arabia has always been a friend in need, which is why we value it so much,” Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said Sunday, while seated next to MBS, as the crown prince is known. Earlier Saudi’s de-facto leader had announced investments in Pakistani petrochemicals, power generation, and mining projects worth more than $20 billion.

In addition to the staggering financial package, MBS — on Khan’s request — ordered the “immediate release” of more than 2,000 Pakistani prisoners incarcerated in the Kingdom. He “won the hearts of the people of Pakistan,” the prime minister — who broke protocol to personally drive MBS to his official residence — later gushed on Twitter.



"Is there a military quid-pro-quo?
The optics seem to suggest that. Fighter jets flanked MBS’s inbound plane, a troop of soldiers fired off a 21-gun salute, and a spokesman for Pakistan’s armed forces told Arab News the country’s military is committed to “standing by our Saudi brethren.” Pakistan’s military is among the 20 most powerful in the world, according to U.S. website Global Firepower and the country is one of only eight to have declared possessing nuclear weapons. Global Firepower ranks nuclear-armed India’s military the world’s fourth most powerful.

“Pakistan is providing capacity to militaries across the Gulf, but particularly Saudi Arabia. They couldn’t function without the Pakistanis,” says Krieg, the Middle East security expert, adding that estimates of how many Pakistani soldiers are serving in the Kingdom go as high as 65,000. “If ever relations went sour, Saudi Arabia wouldn’t have another source of manpower to fuel the massive military machine,” Krieg says.

Separately, Saudi Arabia has long been rumored to have nuclear weapons “on order” from Pakistan."

I read it in a think tank paper on the Yemen war.


That alliance is currently dead. Egypt pulled out, so it has no real teeth. why feed me bs? you think i dont know better? Having more $ doesnt guarantee you win the war.

OBVIOUSLY, you talk alot, but dont know as much as you should. you should listen to me more instead of the other way around.

Big countries with powerful economy can fight against America but Iran stands no chance.be realistic.i can't even imagine Iran victory.it is impossible.americans have weapons and strategy.they are not fools.look at the size of their navy.iran should refrain.

:blah::blah::blah:
What is your point? You must be incredibly dumb to believe any country would "order" nukes and any country would "sell" nukes. Rumors and MoUs is all you've posted. Anyone knows Pakistan and other Muslim countries will aid SA in case of belligerence against the land directly. This topic is on Yemen so please show me where Pakistani forces are in Yemen.

Muslims? Are you talking about Iran? A country who threatened Pakistan and joined hands with India against a common problem which is pakistan.please don't forget the events after bomb blast in Iran.iran is no friend.they are the same Muslims which created lots of proxies against arabs.they don't care about other Muslims.pakistan is not responsible for entire world Muslim population.we aren't a leader.we aren't their master.arabs will never help us again if we stay neutral again.neutral means no role in Arab,no role in Iran.arabs will simply stop giving us importance.neutral is very bad situation for Pakistan.

Your small brain doesn't cease to amaze me. Answer these questions to yourself:
1) Has Pakistan remained neutral?
2) Have Arabs decreased support for Pakistan?

Neutrality is worse for Arabs but that is the pill they have to swallow. You should remember Arab forces have also done terrible things and how much they support India. If you compare the benefits India gains a lot more from Arab countries than it does from Iran. There are several benefits from both sides to Pakistan the support of KSA, UAE cannot be ignored however the last thing Pakistan needs is another unstable border. I am thankful Pakistani leadership, even with all its flaws, is not as foolish as you!

:omghaha:
You must be looking at a mirror and talking to yourself..since obviously you don't knowe much about Yemen previous wars..Nor the numbers of Houthis now..

I think this is declaration of war by Iran.it is time for pakistan,turkey and Egypt to join saudia and finish everything on the ground.i think now Arabs have genuine reason to attack iran.time to finish Persian empire.it is necessary for allies to capture irgc commander and that revolutionary shit.i think Trump should seriously consider attack on Iran and execute entire mullah regime back in america.israel should also join Arabs.iran is danger not only for Muslim countries but for the entire region.

Why don't you hold your Breath until Pakistan,Turkey and Egypt come to your Saudi Master's rescue!

It is a trap by u.s and soon u.s jets will start bombing saudis cities and kill civilians in the name of ending terrorists like they did in Syria.Pakistan should send jf17 bombers and army to bomb these houthis and crush this insurgency even if we are required to use tactical nukes on houthis.This cannot be tolerated

WoW. Threatening one of the poorest Muslim countries with Nuclear weapons just because your Saudi Master and their Zombie slaves are losing the War they them selves started despite all the Money and advanced Arms at Saudi disposal and Despite the U.S literally holding their hands and giving the Saudis Intel and even air born refueling to RSAF! You call your self a Muslim?

Turkey, Pakistan and Egypt have wiser leaders than some saudi fanboys here. Currently Sisi is milking saudis, Turkey has problem with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan is neutral because it has borders with Iran and does not want to damage any potential future ties with Iran.

I am blushing thanks I think our leaders have learned the hard way by depending on one country to much but it will take some time for the public to understand the current trajectory we are heading.a balance is needed tho I think Iranian and Saudi arrogance harms the near abroad

Iran wants exit of all american forces from Asia my friend. This is the opposite of arrogance. Anyone who is against Iran is automaticly pro-Israel and pro-US.

I support Iranian actions in Syria,Lebanon and in the Mid East but your policy makers seem to ge arrogant about Pakistan concerns in balochistan colluding with India as well
 
.
What is your point?
You obviously have a problem facing up to to simple truths. Your assertion of the non-presence of the Pakistani mercenary army in Saudi is contradicted by the presence of up to 65000 of well armed countrymen led by non other than your last COAS

Iran is against separatism in the region... Baluchistan will stay part of Pakistan. Saudi backed saddam was one of the first leaders who funded Baluch separatism. His role was taken over by Israel, USA, Saudi Arabia and Emirates. Iran will act against any separatist force in the region. We backed Iraqi government to prevent separation of Kurdish region from Iraq because we know the twin brothers (Saudi and Israel) will grab any chance to create a base against regional countries inside these regions. We don't want domino effect of separatism which will cause regional chaos.

You obviously have a literacy problem. I said there are no Pakistani forces in Yemen, last I checked Yemen is not Saudi Arabia.
