【Did Sharif Make a Mistake Over the Houthi Drone Incident?】 Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif posted, "I condemn in the strongest terms the despicable and abhorrent attempt to launch drones against the sacred city of Mecca."

Although Old Sharif did not explicitly name who attacked or desecrated Mecca, he was likely responding to the widely circulated claim that Houthis had launched drones over Mecca, which were intercepted.

The language was extremely forceful—deeply distressed, calling the act abominable… unable to find strong enough words to express outrage. He described the action as shameful and unforgivable.

The key point is that Old Sharif paid tribute to Saudi Royal Armed Forces for their "exceptional vigilance, courage, and professionalism," thanking them for their swift and heroic response.

In my Weitoutiao post today, I’ve already verified that the so-called “Houthi drone attack on the holy site” is actually footage from last year, when Houthi drones targeting Israel were intercepted by Saudi Arabia—misappropriated and falsely presented as evidence of today’s alleged strike on Mecca.

Old Sharif’s message implies: If the Houthis dare attack Mecca, the world must unite to destroy them!

The narrative of “Shia attacks on Mecca” poses a serious intellectual test for global Sunni Muslims. Ballistic missiles do not deviate by 80 kilometers from their intended target. This isn’t a crude missile; its circular error probability is 2,500 meters. Figure 2

Old Sharif apparently heard rumors without verifying facts, immediately dumping the blame on the “slipper army,” while also calling for “maximum restraint” and urging de-escalation from the brink.

Finally, he loudly supported Saudi Arabia: “Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our fraternal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, unwavering in defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

Alright, alright—let the spirit of the Mecca Accord rise up!

Naturally, such high-profile statements must be made.

Supporting Saudi Arabia is normal—but the problem is that Mecca has not suffered any recent attacks. The circulated video is merely a propaganda trick.

Old Sharif must have fallen into someone else’s trap.

This was a hasty move—not careful at all.

Or perhaps, is the Pakistani Air Force about to get involved?
