Turkey said it could help meet Saudi Arabia’s military needs under a trilateral defense pact with Pakistan, following escalating Houthi attacks on the kingdom. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Saudi Arabia could require assistance, particularly on technical matters, and Ankara could provide it under the agreement [aljazeera.com][dawn.com][geo.tv]. Fidan said it was unacceptable to draw Saudi Arabia into the United States-Iran war because Riyadh did not want to join the conflict. He said proposals had been sent to all sides to end the fighting but did not disclose their contents, adding that the conflict’s economic effects had become intolerable [dawn.com][capital.gr]. Pakistan has said it has not discussed a military response under the pact [geo.tv].
