New Saudi-Turkish-Pakistani alliance alarms Iran, analyst says

A political analyst warns of growing concerns in Iran over a new alliance between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan. Muhannad Hafiz Oglu, a political analyst, stated that Iran and its regional militias are alarmed by the emerging Mecca Joint Defense Agreement. Tehran recognizes the true strength of the coalition, according to Oglu in an interview with Al Arabiya.

The primary goal of the agreement is to enforce peace and stability through diplomatic and political means, but if necessary, the countries are prepared to use force. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan emphasized that the countries do not provoke Iran and do not distort geography or history. However, they are ready to respond to any moves made by Iran and its proxies.

Oglu noted that reactions from Houthi militias and Iran's allies in Iraq suggest fear is spreading within Iran's Revolutionary Guard, as they realize the Mecca Agreement is not merely symbolic but intended for real implementation. Consequently, Iran's Revolutionary Guard may consider preemptive strikes, given the three countries possess both wisdom and strength.
