Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have signed a NATO-style defence pact, the Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement.
The deal commits both nations to defend each other in case of aggression.
For Pakistan, this is a direct shield against India.
For Saudi Arabia, it’s about securing allies as doubts grow over U.S. reliability.
But the pact could have far-reaching consequences.
Riyadh may turn to Pakistan for nuclear technology, a move that could pit Saudi Arabia against India in any future conflict.
Has Saudi Arabia effectively aligned itself with Pakistan’s wars?
And how should India prepare for the fallout?
