ISLAMABAD—Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Adel al-Jubeir, is in Pakistan where he held talks with political and military leaders on Thursday to discuss the Sunni-majority kingdom’s rising tensions with regional rival Shi’ite Iran.
Riyadh’s execution of a prominent Shi’ite cleric this past Saturday has fueled tensions across the Middle East and angered Tehran, leading to anti-Saudi demonstrations in Iran and the ransacking of Saudi Arabia’s embassy in the country.
