Riyadh and Islamabad’s Defense Treaty: A Powerful Message of Deterrence to Netanyahu and a Growing Skepticism Towards America’s Reliability.
According to the Russia Today news site, the defense pact signed between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Pakistani Prime Minister Mohammad Shahbaz Sharif considers an attack on either country as an attack on both.
One user on the X network described the defense pact as a move to emphasize Riyadh’s weight and position in shaping the regional security balance. Another user wrote: Saudi Arabia has blocked the way for any threat, put an end to Netanyahu’s nonsense, and sent a message to the United States that you cannot be trusted.
Another user said: Iran is an ally of Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia has signed a defense pact with Pakistan. Iran and Pakistan are looking to sign a defense agreement and military cooperation with China. If India attacks Pakistan, it will be considered an attack on Saudi Arabia. Any attack on Saudi Arabia is considered an attack on nuclear Pakistan.
