The pact, signed earlier, is being activated as the signatories meet in Riyadh. This marks the first announced Pakistani troop deployment to support Saudi‑backed forces in Yemen.
The activation follows a surge in Houthi attacks that the Jerusalem Post links to the recent escalation, while Iran International notes the three countries are jointly responding. Coverage does not detail the size or exact deployment timeline of the forces, nor does it clarify the command structure.
What remains unclear is whether Saudi Arabian troops themselves will be stationed abroad or if the deployment is limited to advisory roles, and how the move will affect ongoing negotiations with the Houthis.
