#Makkah_Agreement:
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan announced in a statement that on Friday, August 7, Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia signed a joint defense agreement. The signed agreement specifies that any armed attack against any of the three countries will be considered an attack against all of them.

The statement mentioned that the signing of this agreement "demonstrates the commitment of the three countries to further strengthen their collective security." The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan also stated that this agreement is aimed at enhancing peace, security, and stability in the region and beyond, and to achieve a safer and more prosperous future.

Reuters also quoted a Turkish official stating that "the defense agreement between Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia is entirely defensive in nature and aims to create a commitment for mutual support in defense matters." This official told Reuters: "This agreement is not directed against any specific country or party, and other countries in the region also have the opportunity to join it." According to this official, this pact does not replace or annul any existing bilateral or multilateral agreements among the countries.

Ibrahim Rezaei, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, indirectly threatened Saudi Arabia, stating that the Makkah defense pact will not bring them security. Rezaei wrote on X: "The Saudis should know that a paper agreement with Turkey and Pakistan will not bring them security, just as years of one-sided appeasement to the Americans did not provide them with security." He accused Saudi Arabia of "begging for security" and advised the officials of this country to instead "reform" their policies.
