Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has extended warm wishes to Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, amidst the ongoing US-Iran conflict.
Sharif's congratulatory message on X came as the US is launching massive strikes against Iran, while Pakistan is extending condolences over Khamenei's father and predecessor Ayatollah Khamenei's death.
The move highlights Pakistan's shifting loyalties in the Middle East, with the country showing support for almost all sides, including the US, Iran, and Saudi Arabia.
Pakistan has signed a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia, elevating their long-standing security partnership, and has also received support for its oil supply from Saudi Arabia amid the global fuel crisis.
The move has raised questions about Pakistan's commitment to its closest partners and its efforts to maintain stability and prosperity in the region.
