Pakistan Urges Iran to Restrain Houthis After Attacks on Saudi Arabia
Pakistan has reportedly conveyed a Saudi warning to Iran, urging Tehran to restrain Yemen’s Houthi rebels after a series of attacks on Saudi targets. The attacks reportedly hit an airbase and oil facilities, leaving dozens injured. The report says Pakistan is seeking to prevent the conflict from widening across the region. Islamabad has a defence pact with Saudi Arabia and Turkey, but officials say any Pakistani military support would be limited to defending Saudi territory. Iran reportedly said it does not control the Houthis, though sources claimed Tehran had encouraged further attacks and offered support. Saudi Arabia is expected to keep its response focused on the Houthis rather than Iran. The escalation has raised fresh concerns about Gulf security, shipping routes and global energy supplies as the United States maintains pressure on Iran.
