Saudi, Pakistan military chiefs discuss ways to halt Iran’s missile attacks
Khalid bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s defense minister, and Asim Munir, Pakistan’s army chief, discussed efforts to stop Iran’s missile attacks during a meeting in Riyadh.
Saudi state media reported that the two senior officials met Saturday in the Saudi capital to review regional security developments and explore ways to halt the ongoing missile strikes.
The discussions focused on rising tensions in the Middle East and the potential consequences of continued attacks by Iran on regional countries and strategic infrastructure.
Officials said the meeting highlighted growing military coordination between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan as both countries monitor the escalating regional conflict.
The talks also addressed broader defense cooperation and the importance of joint efforts to prevent further instability across the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia and Pakistan recently signed a bilateral defense pact stating that an attack on one country would be considered an attack on both.
Pakistan’s defense minister later said the country’s nuclear program could be made available to Saudi Arabia “if necessary” under the terms of the agreement.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has also condemned several Iranian attacks on countries across the Middle East in recent weeks.
Reports indicated that the growing military coordination between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan reflects rising regional concern over Iran’s actions and the risk of wider escalation.
