“If the Saudis were to decide to enter with complete force…Iran is going to be the biggest loser because Saudi Arabia will activate its bilateral defence agreement with Pakistan,” Salman al-Ansari, a Saudi Arabian geopolitical researcher, said in an interview middleeasteye.pulse.ly/uw9uoxdrnx

@MiddleEastEye Iran should start talks through back channels with Arab countries. If they get involved, Iran will lose the war and end up in very bad shape.

@MiddleEastEye This narrative feels selective. If such pacts were truly binding, where were they when Pakistan faced threats? Pakistan must prioritize its own stability and unity, not be drawn into external conflicts. Regional peace matters more than pressured alliances. #Iran #Iranwar

NO WE WONT! Forget about any pact, we Pakistanis 🇵🇰 will not go into a war for the USA servants like yourself. Not happening. Just remove the damn American bases that you have in Saudi. Our troops are not some toys to be used at your disposal just because you can't stop bending over to your father USA and Israel. Pakistan stands with Iran. Get that in your head! USA asked for Pakistani bases to use against Iran and we have rejected already!

@MiddleEastEye @grok Will Pakistan join Saudi Arabia if they attack Iran?

Let’s dial up the absurdity, this isn’t a spy thriller where Riyadh dials up Islamabad for a nuclear Uber. Pakistan’s arsenal stays glued to its India centric doctrine, tight command, no lending, no sharing, no all military means magic turning into warheads for Gulf drama. The 2025 Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement? It’s boilerplate codifying old ties troops, training, cash, not a nuclear blank check. Official text skips nukes entirely, vague comprehensive talk from officials got walked back faster than a bad tweet. Pakistan’s leadership won’t risk economic meltdown, sectarian blowback, or Iranian payback over Riyadh’s fights. Peak irony, Saudi Arabia, the U.S. security darling quietly nodding along with Israel against Iran, now supposedly hiding behind a Pakistani umbrella while Salman al-Ansari hypes doomsday on CBC for clicks. That’s not geopolitics, it’s one analyst LARPing as Dr. Strangelove. Bottom line, no nukes fly for Saudi convenience, no army invades the Gulf, and this activation fantasy is pure hype. Reality check, Pakistan isn’t renting deterrence, and Iran isn’t losing sleep over soundbites. Save the apocalypse plot for fiction real strategy runs on red lines, not viral hot takes.

Saudi Arabia should stop pretending Pakistan is some automatic weapon against Iran. Just days ago, Pakistan’s ambassador in Tehran said Pakistan-Iran trade and transit are functioning normally despite the tension. Pakistani tankers are still moving through Hormuz. That tells you everything: Pakistan is trying to balance, not volunteer for Saudi Arabia’s war.

@MiddleEastEye No, We Pakistani’s won’t fight against brotherly country Iran, Never

@MiddleEastEye Hypocrites. Saudi Arabian monarchs are ugly inside and out. Never once did they condemn the Zionist entity. Bomb the Yemenis directly and bomb Palestinians and Iran indirectly. You're exposing your true qibla is Washington.

@MiddleEastEye So you cannot fight your own war but you want to involve Pakistan. What were the US refueling aircraft doing in Saudi Arabia when they were destroyed by Iranian drones? This is to tell you that Saudi was never neutral in this war, in fact they are complicit and the main hypocrite

@MiddleEastEye You didn't get the memo. IRAN 🇮🇷 will never give in. Ever

🚨 This reads more like a political projection than a grounded assessment Saudi Arabia has repeatedly signaled de-escalation, not entry into war 👉 and clearly emphasized regional stability over confrontation 🧠 Reality is far more complex than binary “who wins/loses” narratives ⚠️ External pressure, military presence, and basing dynamics in the region don’t automatically translate into sovereign intent or policy shift 🇵🇰 Pakistan’s role is critical here 👉 Not escalation 👉 Not bloc politics ⚖️ But stability, mediation, and clarity Ensuring: ✔️ No misinterpretation of alliances ✔️ No forced leverage by external actors ✔️ No framing of this conflict along religious lines 🔥 The region doesn’t need new fronts It needs controlled de-escalation and strategic balance #Geopolitics #MiddleEast #Pakistan #Stability #ContextMatters

@MiddleEastEye Pakistan will not join, first they are already busy, second they have good relations with iran, esp because of their proximity. They will make an excuse by accusing saudis in hosting US bases and just avoid the war.

@MiddleEastEye @atifzaman01 But Muslims around the will be supporting the Incredible Iran irrespective of Shia sunni. Head of the so-called Muslim countries didn't have the support of their subjects.

@MiddleEastEye Pakistan is not fool to start a fight with another neighbor, when already facing issues India and Afghanistan.

@MiddleEastEye Iran will used all the power they hold just for saudi, for long iran get multiple critical attacked by israel and usa thats killed their chiderns and leaders but yeah iran doing nothing then when saudi start move they will used all the power hypersonic missile targeting saudi

@MiddleEastEye It will quickly turn into a world war. You underestimate the level of outcry in the Chinese and Russian public that their government not leave Iran to fall. Iran and North Korea have been allies for decades too. Saudi better be careful what they wish for.

@MiddleEastEye No true Pakistani with a conscience would ever accept fighting Iran—especially not in favor of Israel. That’s a line we simply cannot cross 😊🇵🇰

@MiddleEastEye If Pakistan does this, all Muslims will not consider Pakistan as a Muslim countryFight against Israel and usa only according to the agreement

@MiddleEastEye Saudis will do the job Germans, Brits, French, Japanese, South Koreans and Italians were not willing and Americans and Israelis could not do! Iranians shaking now!

@MiddleEastEye Middle East (blind) Eye 🤦‍♂️

@MiddleEastEye You are ignorant, the kingdom will collapse. And after Iran America is coming for the Pakistan.

@MiddleEastEye Pakistan should refrain from participating in the Israeli (rogue state )war against Iran.

@MiddleEastEye Typical Saudis - always paying others to do their dirty work. Bloody pimps.

@MiddleEastEye Pakistan military generals are for sale. If Iran offers these generals a better deal than Saudi Arabia then they wouldn't waste a second to play from their side.They could even sell their wives and mothers for their greed and selfishness. Never trust them

@MiddleEastEye I don’t see Pakistan getting into a direct fight with Iran. These defence agreements sound strong on paper, but in reality they depend on who’s on the other side. When interests and alliances come into play, commitments often become flexible.

@MiddleEastEye PAKISTAN stands firmly with IRAN 🇮🇷. PAKISTANI NATION CONDEMNS US-Israeli aggression against Iran and complicity of Arab Monarchies by providing land, sea and airspace and Bases to launch attacks on Iran.

@MiddleEastEye Iran is not at war with Saudi Arabia plus Iran doesn't care.

@MiddleEastEye Pakistan should think about their own interests. Remember no one came to our aid last year. Plus Pak should not forget about significant shia population internally that can impact internal security.

@MiddleEastEye Under such circumstances, the biggest loosers will be Saudi Prince and Pakistan govt. Including Army due to hudge internal outcry for fighting against Iran for the interests of Isreal and US. May be Saudi monarchs are replaced by democracy.

@MiddleEastEye Saudi Arabia doesn't provided any help during conflict with Afghanistan. They also didn't supported much in may strikes like turkey did. So why do we fight Saudis war which result in complete chao at our side

@MiddleEastEye Saudi Arabia isn’t bluffing: collective defence with Pakistan changes the stakes and Iran could be staring down multiple fronts.

@MiddleEastEye Pakistan will not be able to crusade against Iran.

@MiddleEastEye Another thing will become clear: if Pakistan enters the field on behalf of Saudi Arabia in this war, then it is clear that they are indirectly supporting Israel and America.

@MiddleEastEye Pakistan should only defend makkah and Madina. The rest of Saudia should be excluded from the agreement. As we can not do the right of Saudia’s wrong.

@MiddleEastEye Let’s be clear: The Pakistan-KS Defence Pact is modeled on NATO’s Article 5, it’s for collective defense, not offensive adventurism. Pakistan didn’t join the Yemen war in 2015, and it isn't joining an attack on Iran in 2026. The goal is deterrence to PREVENT war, not start one.

@MiddleEastEye Everyone will lose. No one will gain. Iran will make sure others go down with them at least.
