        "summary": "Pakistan has deployed fighter jets to Saudi Arabia as a first concrete military step under their joint defence pact, coinciding with Islamabad hosting ceasefire talks between the US and Iran to end weeks of conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran. This deployment follows Iran's missile and drone attacks on Gulf targets after the US-Israel assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, with Pakistan balancing commitments to both sides while securing Saudi assurances against attacks on Iran. The move underscores regional tensions and includes agreements to accelerate a $5 billion Saudi investment package for Pakistan.",
        "content": "<p>Pakistan has deployed fighter jets to Saudi Arabia. This marks the\nfirst tangible military action under the joint defence pact between the\ntwo countries. According to Al-Jazeera on Sunday (12\/4\/2026), Pakistan\ntook this step while hosting ceasefire talks aimed at ending weeks of\nfighting between the US, Israel, and Iran. Saudi Arabia\u2019s Ministry of\nDefence stated that the aircraft, a mix of fighter jets and support\njets, landed at King Abdulaziz Air Base in the Eastern Province of Saudi\nArabia on Saturday. The deployment was carried out under the joint\ndefence agreement signed in September 2025. That agreement obliges each\ncountry to regard an attack on the other as an attack on itself. The\npact was signed during Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif\u2019s visit\nto Riyadh in September 2025, where he met Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed\nbin Salman. As the jets landed in the kingdom, Pakistan was hosting\ndirect negotiations between the United States and Iran in Islamabad.\nSince Iran launched missile and drone attacks on what it described as US\ntargets in Gulf countries following the US-Israel assassination of\nSupreme Leader Ali Khamenei on 28 February, Pakistan has been balancing\nits commitments on both sides. Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar stated that he\nhad warned Iranian leaders in early March that Islamabad was bound by\nits obligations to Riyadh under the agreement. Iran sought assurances\nthat Saudi territory would not be used to attack it, Dar said, adding\nthat he had secured those assurances. However, Iran\u2019s attacks on targets\nin Saudi Arabia continued, including key bases and US embassy buildings.\nArmy Chief Marshal Asim Munir flew to Riyadh in early March to discuss\nmeasures to stop the Iranian attacks within the framework of the pact.\nFour days before the fighter jet deployment on Saturday, Sharif\ntelephoned the crown prince to pledge that Pakistan would stand\n\u2018shoulder to shoulder\u2019 with the kingdom. The two countries also agreed\nto accelerate the Saudi-promised $5 billion investment package for\nPakistan.<\/p>",
