Saudi analyst says kingdom will activate defence pact with Pakistan if it joins Iran war

A Saudi analyst suggests that if Saudi Arabia joins a US-Israeli war on Iran, it will activate its mutual defense pact with Pakistan. This agreement could provide the kingdom with a "nuclear umbrella" by potentially leveraging Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. The pact, signed the previous year, reportedly contains a collective defense clause similar to NATO's Article 5. This speculation arises in the context of Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks on Saudi and US targets, including energy infrastructure.
