Saudi, Turkey, Pakistan form joint defense
Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan signed a joint defense agreement in Mecca on August 7, 2026, aimed at strengthening defense cooperation, increasing deterrence against any aggression, developing military exercises, and exchanging intelligence. This agreement comes amid rising regional tensions, including the conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-backed Houthis, as well as developments in the war involving Iran, the United States, and Israel, reflecting the three countries' efforts to build an independent strategic alliance to enhance their security. This step indicates that the countries in the region are moving toward a security system that is not solely dependent on the American umbrella, in an attempt to safeguard their interests in light of the international community's failure to prevent regional escalation.
