Which country is the new Mecca defense pact targeting?
Observers suggest the new alliance between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan won't result in any of the countries fighting for each other. Instead it's about preventing Iran and Israel from regional dominance, they say.
The new Mecca defense pact, known as the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement, is targeting Iran and Israel as its main adversaries.
