Iran says Pakistan-Turkey-Saudi defense pact is no threat, reflects a 'shift in approach'
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei said the pact showed a shift in regional countries' approach to security, with greater reliance on their own capabilities rather than outside powers.
Iran has dismissed concerns over a new security pact between Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, stating that it does not pose a threat to Tehran. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei emphasized that the pact reflects a shift in regional countries' approach to security, with a greater reliance on their own capabilities rather than external powers.
Baghaei added that any plan based on the geopolitical realities of the region, which correctly identifies the enemy and the threat, has the potential to strengthen security and prevent instability. Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, confirmed that the agreement is not directed against any country and is purely defensive in nature, aimed at furthering peace, stability, and prosperity in the wider region.
