Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey Sign Mutual Defense Pact

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey have signed a mutual defense agreement. This pact establishes that any aggression against one of the signatories will be considered an attack against all three, according to various sources.

The agreement, known as the Mecca Agreement, not only involves these three countries but also allows Pakistan to open the pact for the inclusion of other regional countries, thereby expanding its scope in terms of military cooperation.

Fidan, a Turkish official, stated that the pact is not directed against any specific country, suggesting a defensive rather than aggressive intent behind the treaty.

From Iran, it has been noted that this agreement reflects a lack of trust in the United States by the countries in the region, indicating that this perception of security intended by the US has had the opposite effect, according to reports.

Despite this, Iran has also claimed that it does not view this defense agreement as a threat, suggesting a willingness to observe the situation's development without a confrontational approach.
