Pakistan Rules Out Immediate Military Action Under Mecca Accord After Houthi Attack on Saudi Arabia

Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated there are no ongoing discussions about a military response under the Mecca Accord to Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, but emphasized Islamabad 'will act' when 'the time comes'. This follows a Pakistani warning to Iran to rein in the Houthis, who have advanced to control the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The statement signals a deliberate de-escalatory posture despite regional pressure, with uncertainty over future Pakistani involvement.
