Mecca Pact Test: Pakistan Rules Out Immediate Military Action After Houthi Attack

Pakistan has ruled out immediate military action under the Mecca Accord in response to Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, signaling a deliberate de-escalatory posture despite regional pressure. This decision, confirmed by Pakistan's Foreign Ministry, defers any response until circumstances require, reducing near-term risk of a broader regional conflict involving Pakistan. The cohesion and response of the newly formed Mecca Pact remain untested, with uncertainty over future Pakistani involvement and the extent of member commitment.
