Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan form regional security alliance
The major Islamic countries—Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan—have announced a defense agreement that strengthens collective military cooperation and aims to deter potential attacks. The agreement includes the development of a joint defense system, potentially intensifying efforts to counter Iranian threats, particularly those targeting Saudi Arabia through Houthi attacks and Iraqi factions. The focus is on enhancing regional self-security and is viewed as a step toward building a broader regional security framework. However, it remains distant from the institutional model of NATO, facing challenges related to unifying doctrines and leadership. This development comes in the context of waning confidence in American protection and is pushing toward the formation of an informal regional security structure, which could lead to a new regional security system in the area.
