The sanctity, protection, and guardianship of the Two Holy Mosques and the sacred land of Hijaz form a fundamental and irrevocable part of the faith of the entire Muslim Ummah. Regardless of the region of the world or the turning point in history, the security of Saudi Arabia and the Two Holy Mosques holds the status of an absolute “red line” for the entire Muslim world. It is the religious and moral responsibility of every individual of the Ummah and every Muslim state to thwart any malicious gaze or aggressive advancement toward this sacred land.
In the current geopolitical context, whether an attack comes from Iran, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, or armed militias in Yemen and Iraq, or as a result of the direct or indirect conspiracies of America and Israel—the Muslim Ummah remains ever-ready and vigilant for the defense of the Two Holy Mosques. No group, country, or power can be allowed to bring its war of political and military interests to the borders of the sacred Hijaz.
To give this resolve a practical and strategic shape, Pakistan and Turkey have signed vital defense agreements with Saudi Arabia, serving as clear proof that the most significant defense and military powers of the Muslim world are on the same page to uphold this red line. Pakistan’s government ministers and top leadership have reiterated their commitment that no compromise will be made on the security of the Two Holy Mosques and the stability of Saudi Arabia, and there is no room for any negligence or leniency in this matter.
Speaking on this significant strategic development and defense framework, the DG ISPR has clarified that the specific details, technical points, and operational strategies of the defense agreement cannot be made public due to security reasons; however, behind the scenes, all necessary measures, preparations, and implementation mechanisms are fully active. Pakistan and its armed forces remain fully committed to their defense agreements and the resolve to protect the Two Holy Mosques, possessing the capability to deliver a crushing response to any misadventure against the region’s security.
