Middle East: Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan sign defense deal
Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan signed a joint defense deal. According to the agreement, an armed attack on any one of the three countries will be regarded as an attack against all of them. Follow DW for the latest.
On Friday, August 7, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan signed a mutual defense agreement amid heightened instability in the Middle East. The Houthi rebels in Yemen have intensified their attacks on pro-government forces, particularly in Marib province, resulting in casualties and injuries. ADNOC, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, reported the impact of the war on its operations, with 15 vessels targeted while passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
Rheinmetall and Lockheed Martin have embarked on a joint venture to produce ATACMS missiles, but the process will take longer than expected. Iran’s stance on the security pact has been skeptical, with a lawmaker warning Saudi Arabia that the agreement won't guarantee security. The war in Iran is expected to slow global business growth and increase inflation.
