Pakistan response to Mecca defense pact

So the Mecca defense pact is on the books, and the response from Islamabad is that nothing has actually been discussed. The arrangement binds three countries together: hit any one of Pakistan, Turkey or Saudi Arabia, and you've hit them all. Meanwhile Houthi strikes have been landing on Saudi cities and energy infrastructure through the week. The foreign ministry's line is that it will move when the time comes. Pakistan did condemn the raids, and it did tell Iran to rein in its allies. That's the whole of it so far. Source: Reuters / Writer: Samuel
