The tension between india and pakistan is increasing day by day. Due to this, more soldiers are being deployed even on the border. In this context, if a war breaks out between india and pakistan, we can see who will have the support of the islamic countries in the world. india conducted Operation Sindoor in response to the pahalgam attack. Only the terrorist centers in pakistan were destroyed. But pakistan is blatantly saying that it will retaliate. Due to this, the tension between the two countries is increasing day by day. In this context, the war tension between the two countries is also increasing. If a war breaks out between india and pakistan, we can see who will have the support of the islamic countries in the world. What needs to be understood is that, first of all, we need to understand one thing clearly. That is, when there was a war between india and pakistan in the past, islam was not the main reason for any country to take a supporting stance. The support of islamic countries was not always completely from Pakistan.

1947-48 War: On october 22, 1947, Pakistani forces entered kashmir as Pashtun tribal fighters. That was the first India-Pakistan war. However, even then, not all islamic countries took a pro-Pakistani stance in the name of religion. A few islamic countries only gave moral and diplomatic support. No one provided military assistance.

1965 War: On april 24, 1965, this war began when the Pakistani army attacked indian forces in the Rann of Kutch. This time, too, only a few islamic countries showed support. islamic countries like iran and turkey did nothing. Only statements were issued, and the faltering pakistan did not receive any military assistance.
1971 bangladesh Liberation War: This war in 1971 led to the formation of a new country called Bangladesh. jordan sent its jets during this war. Another major Islamic country, saudi arabia, only issued a statement saying that it supports Pakistan.

1999 Kargil conflict: The Kargil war that took place in 1999 lasted for about 3 months. india dealt a strong blow to pakistan in this war. Even after the war ended, pakistan was able to withdraw its troops only if india allowed it. In the 1990s, india started to emerge as an important country internationally. Due to this, no Islamic country supported pakistan like in the past. Let alone weapons. They did not even say that they stand with pakistan for talks. In this, most islamic countries only emphasized that both countries should hold talks and that both countries should be patient. No country has come forward to help Pakistan. Even now, if a war breaks out between india and pakistan, it seems that the same situation will prevail.

 Saudi Arabia: saudi arabia and pakistan have a long-standing relationship. Because of this, saudi arabia has given pakistan a loan of several billion dollars. However, india and saudi arabia have been getting closer in recent years. saudi arabia is planning to develop another economy before its oil wells run out. It needs india for that. For this, saudi arabia is also planning to invest about $100 billion in India. For this, saudi arabia will definitely not provide military assistance to pakistan if war breaks out. It will only insist on negotiations.

The United Arab Emirates: The oil-rich United Arab Emirates is also planning to expand its economy. For this, the uae has already announced plans to invest several billion dollars in India. For this, saudi arabia will also try to defuse the war tension. pakistan will not take a pro-Pakistani stance.

Iran: iran has already sent its Foreign Minister, abbas Araqchi, to hold talks between india and Pakistan. Through this, their stance is clear to us. india is building a port in Chabahar, Iran. Moreover, it has invested in many projects. In the face of various international economic sanctions on iran, these investments from india are important. iran cannot afford to lose them. For this, iran will only provide diplomatic support to pakistan at most.

Turkey: Turkey is the only country that is an exception to this. turkey has already signed various military agreements with Pakistan. It is supplying military aircraft and drones to Pakistan. Moreover, there is an aerospace agreement between the two sides. Due to this, if a war breaks out, only turkey will be able to continue supporting Pakistan.
