Compounding the tension, Saudi Arabia is deepening ties with nuclear-armed Pakistan, which hinted it could share its arsenal if needed — a veiled message to Israel. The 30-year pact, set for congressional review, could give Riyadh unprecedented leverage with Washington — but at what cost to regional stability?
