Iran's Foreign Ministry has commented on a new defence pact between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey. The pact reflects a shift in regional countries' perceptions of the United States, according to Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei. He described the agreement as a sign that regional countries are reassessing their security relationships.
Baqaei stated that Iran sees no reason to be concerned that the pact is directed against Tehran. He added that the agreement shows a shift in regional countries' approach to security, with a greater reliance on their own capabilities rather than outside powers.
Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar specified that the agreement was not directed against any country and that other countries may join the pact. Dar added that the agreement is purely defensive in nature and aimed at further strengthening peace, stability, and prosperity across the region.
