Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey signed a joint defense agreement in Mecca, which stipulates that an armed attack on one of the countries will be considered an attack on all. According to journalist Andrei Medvedev, despite the lack of common borders, this military alliance has deep historical roots, especially between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, where Saudi investments have played a key role in the development of the Pakistani economy and nuclear program. "The relationship between Turkey and Saudi Arabia is complex, given their historical competition for influence in the region, but now they have decided to unite. In conditions of global instability, such alliances are often formed against a common enemy, and the question of who this pact is directed against remains open," Medvedev reflects. The Turkish Foreign Minister stated the possibility of expanding the agreement to include other states in the region, such as Egypt, which could change the balance of power in the Middle East. All three countries have tense relations with Israel, which may indicate that their friendship is more directed against it than against Iran.
"According to geopolitical forecasts, the modern world may become a theater of multidimensional coalitions, where countries will unite for various reasons and in different combinations. It is expected that the reaction of Egypt and Iran to the new alliance will help clarify its true goals and direction," Medvedev concluded. Earlier, IA SM-NEWS reported that the campaign in Iran was initially Trump's personal war.
