Pakistan Secretly Facilitates Iranian Oil Exports Via Pakistan Amid Tensions

Pakistan's Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir has brokered a secret deal with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), allowing Iranian oil exports through Pakistan in exchange for halting attacks on Saudi Arabia.

The agreement was reportedly finalized in late March amid the ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran, according to The Times of Israel. This move is part of a larger strategy to strengthen Pakistan's ties with Saudi Arabia, which include a mutual defense agreement signed last year.

Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif have been instrumental in deepening bilateral relations between the two countries. Under this agreement, thousands of Pakistani soldiers were deployed to Saudi Arabia along with warships and fighter jets.
