The move comes as Saudi Arabia prepares to host high-level military discussions with Pakistan and Turkey, signaling a deepening security cooperation. The terminal, a key hub for global oil exports, has become a focal point for international concerns over stability in the Gulf. Analysts suggest the deployments reflect growing unease over potential disruptions to energy supplies.
