Pakistani Army Clarifies Gulf Role
The Pakistani army, led by Field Marshal Asim Munir, quickly decided to send forces to Saudi Arabia without parliamentary approval, following the previous parliament's vote in 2015 against intervention in Yemen. This move was made in the context of activating a joint defense agreement between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, signed in August, amid escalating Houthi attacks on the kingdom. It is worth noting that Munir has been assigned a leadership role overseeing all branches of the armed forces until 2030. This development indicates a growing influence of the military in foreign policy, despite opposition protests and the army's insistence that the operation is secret and operational. The deployment relates to strengthening military cooperation between the countries, with no specific numbers or missions yet defined.
