So, did the US broker the Saudi Arabia-Pakistan defense agreement? Trump’s secret plan has sparked tension from India to Israel.

Saudi Arabia and nuclear-armed Pakistan have signed a mutual defense agreement. According to this agreement, an attack on either country will be considered an attack on both countries. This is a significant agreement following last week’s Israeli attack on Qatar. Saudi Arabia has long enjoyed close economic, religious, and defense ties with Pakistan, including reportedly providing funding for the development of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program. However, experts believe this agreement was approved with the consent of the Donald Trump-led US administration.

Why is the US being suspected?

Indeed, on the same day as the defense agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of the US Central Command, visited Saudi Arabia. He also met with Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman. Additionally, during his visit to the US in August, Pakistani Field Marshal Asim Munir also met with Admiral Brad Cooper. It is believed that the Pakistan-Saudi Arabia defense agreement was discussed during these meetings and was implemented after receiving US approval.

What Saudi Arabia’s Defense Minister Said

Saudi Arabia’s Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman posted on Instagram, saying, “I met with Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of US CENTCOM. During this meeting, we reviewed various aspects of our defense cooperation and discussed the latest developments in the region, as well as our joint efforts to address them to maintain international peace and security.”

Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are both protégés of the US

Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are considered protégés of the US. Experts believe that neither country has the courage to act against the US. Both countries are heavily dependent on the US for defense and trade. There is also a fear that Saudi Arabia will provide funds to Pakistan for future weapons development and purchases. Saudi Arabia will provide this money to Pakistan, especially for the purchase of US weapons.

India-Israel tensions will increase

This agreement is designed to increase the problems of India and Israel. In fact, Saudi Arabia fears an Israeli attack. It believes the US will refrain from taking direct action against Israel, although Pakistan is under no such compulsion. Pakistan is willing to do anything for Saudi money. On the other hand, Pakistan is threatened by India. It knows that India can only be subdued through economic pressure, for which there is no better option than Saudi Arabia. Therefore, this deal will serve the interests of both Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
