Houthis' Return Threatens Pakistan's Neutrality in Iran War

Houthis' Return Threatens Pakistan's Neutrality in Iran War

Pakistan is in a tough spot because of a long-standing conflict in Yemen.

A group called the Houthis, who are backed by Iran, are fighting against Saudi Arabia.

Pakistan has tried to stay neutral and even helped mediate between Iran and the US.

But now, the Houthis are attacking Saudi ships, and Pakistan might have to choose sides.

If Pakistan helps Saudi Arabia, it could anger Iran.

If it stays neutral, it might lose economic benefits from Saudi Arabia.

This is a big problem because Pakistan needs both economic stability and good relations with its neighbors.
