Saudi Arabia has an alliance with Pakistan, including using nuclear weapons as a response in Saudi Arabia’s defense.
If Israel attacks Saudi Arabia, Pakistan responds. Bagram airport is only a couple hundred miles from the Pakistan border and an excellent place for the US to intercept any response from Pakistan headed towards Israel.
