The New ‘Mecca Alliance’ Warns Iran Over Houthi Attacks on Saudi Arabia

The EU has been informed by a senior source that the Iranian regime recently ordered attacks on Saudi Arabia to be carried out by the Houthis, with assistance from IRGC officers and men on the ground in Yemen. This is not the first instance of this type of attack, as Saudi Arabia has been previously hit by the Iran-backed Houthis.

In response, the Makkah Defence Alliance, consisting of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, was officially formed on August 7th this year. The alliance is modeled around the NATO principle of collective defense, where an attack on one member is considered an attack on all. Saudi Arabia provides financial resources and a large network of regional intelligence contacts, while Turkey and Pakistan offer advanced military equipment and expertise.

The formation of the alliance was a direct response to the perceived failure of the U.S. to provide adequate protection against Iranian attacks on Middle Eastern countries. The timing of the alliance's creation was strategic, as it came after a series of Iranian missile and drone attacks on various Middle Eastern nations, causing significant damage to oil and energy infrastructure.

The attacks serve as a reminder of Iran's leverage and potential to cause further disruption in the global oil market, which could have severe economic consequences. The U.S. president's political prospects, as well as the global economy, are closely tied to oil prices and the stability of the oil market.
