Al Jazeera reported that on the 15th local time, Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif stated that in order to protect the country's energy supply chain, Islamabad will firmly respond to Washington's call and dispatch its own warships to participate in the international escort operation in the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz.
Asif further revealed that before the international community took relevant actions, Pakistan had already taken necessary measures in advance, deploying three missile frigates to provide comprehensive protection for the oil transportation of Pakistan National Shipping Company in the Middle East. Currently, some oil tankers returning to Karachi Port from the UAE have safely passed through the Strait of Hormuz. The long-distance escort operation named "Muhafiz Bahar" is currently proceeding smoothly.
