Saudi Arabia forges defense pact with Pakistan and Turkey in bid against Iran threat

Saudi Arabia has drawn Pakistan and Turkey into its defense in a landmark pact as the Iran war draws near, bolstering the kingdom's military capabilities amid escalating tensions in the region. The agreement, similar to NATO, aims to strengthen regional security through mutual defense arrangements. This move marks a significant shift for Saudi Arabia, which previously relied on the United States for military support. The pact is seen as a strategic response to Iran's growing influence and aggression in the Middle East.
