====Relations with Pakistan====
In September 2025 Saudi Arabia has signed a "strategic mutual defence" pact with [[Pakistan]], signaling to the [[US]] and [[Israel]] that the kingdom is willing to diversify its security alliances as it looks to bolster its [[deterrence]].
The agreement with the [[nuclear-arm]]ed [[south Asia]]n state comes a week after [[Gulf states]] — traditionally reliant on the US as their security guarantor — were deeply rattled by Israel's [[missile]] strikes targeting [[Hamas]]'s [[political]] leaders in [[Qatar]].
"We hope it will reinforce our deterrence — aggression against one is aggression against the other," a senior Saudi official told the [[UK]] ''[[Financial Times]]''. "This is a comprehensive defence agreement that will utilise all defensive and [[military]] means deemed necessary depending on the specific threat."<ref>https://archive.ph/g0rpK#selection-1885.0-1889.123</ref>
