Pakistan says ‘no question’ it will rush to Saudi Arabia’s defence in Iran war

Pakistan will come to the aid of Saudi Arabia whenever needed, according to the spokesman for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif

, as Iran retaliates against US-Israeli strikes by hitting Gulf nations.

There was “no question we might, we will” come to Saudi Arabia’s aid “no matter what and no matter when”, Mosharraf Zaidi said on Wednesday.

“Both countries, even before the defence agreement, have always operated on the principle of being there for the other,” he said.
