Pakistan's Balancing Act in the Middle East

Pakistan's Balancing Act in the Middle East

Caught in a tough spot! Pakistan shares a long border with Iran, but also has a defense pact with Saudi Arabia and millions of citizens working there. As conflict escalates between Iran and Gulf states, analysts are asking: can Pakistan's delicate neutrality last? The country is trying diplomacy to calm both sides, but its commitments are being tested. A wrong move could risk internal sectarian tensions and economic fallout from the Gulf. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/7/caught-between-iran-and-saudi-arabia-can-pakistan-stay-neutral-for-long

It's like being stuck between two brothers fighting. No easy answers here.

Neutrality is the only smart play right now. Getting pulled in would be a disaster.
