Pakistan's 4-Front Nightmare: BLA, TTP, Taliban & Houthis | Asim Trapped Between Saudi & Iran

Pakistan has issued one of its strongest warnings yet against Yemen’s Houthis, condemning threats to Saudi Arabia and Red Sea shipping while reserving the right to use force if Pakistani vessels are attacked. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also called Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, offering full support after attacks on Saudi oil tankers. The message is clear: Riyadh’s security now carries direct strategic weight for Islamabad. But the timing exposes a contradiction. Pakistan still presents itself as a mediator between Iran and the United States, even as it draws red lines against an Iran-backed armed group. A 2025 mutual defence pact with Saudi Arabia raises the stakes further, although reports about large Pakistani troop and weapons deployments remain unverified by major independent outlets. Has Islamabad finally chosen Saudi Arabia over Iran? Can it still claim neutrality? And could the Red Sea crisis pull Pakistan from diplomacy into conflict next today? #pakistan #saudiarabia #iran #houthis #yemen #redsea #redseacrisis #bab​elmandeb #shehbazsharif #mohammedbinsalman #asimmunir #pakistansaudiarabia #saudipakistandefencepact #timesaxis #toi 00:00 Pakistan Draws a Red Line Against Houthis 00:44 Shehbaz Sharif Backs Saudi Arabia 01:42 Why the Red Sea Matters to Pakistan 02:45 Pakistan's Warning: Force If Ships Are Attacked 03:52 Saudi-Pakistan Defence Pact Explained 05:00 Pakistan's Iran Balancing Act Under Pressure 06:12 Has Islamabad Chosen Riyadh Over Tehran? 07:18 What's Next for Pakistan in the Red Sea Crisis? AXIS is where the world is explained through India’s lens. For decades, global narratives have been shaped by Western media... told through Washington, London or Beijing. But as India rises as a major economic, military and diplomatic power, why should others define the world for us? Why shouldn’t India shape its own voice, own perspective, and own narrative? That’s where AXIS comes in. We decode global power shifts, wars and conflicts, the India-China rivalry, Pakistan, West Asia, oil shocks, trade battles and neighbourhood politics - with one key question: What does this mean for India and for you? As India rises, so should its share of voice!
