Türkiye signs defense pact with Saudi Arabia, Pakistan

Turkey has signed a defense pact with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, marking a significant step in regional security cooperation. The agreement, confirmed by Turkish sources and reported by international media, establishes mutual defense commitments among the three nations. Under the pact, attacks on one country are considered attacks on all, prompting joint defensive actions. The collaboration comes amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran, affecting maritime routes in the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz. The agreement reflects longstanding discussions accelerated by recent geopolitical developments. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman hosted Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during his visit, while Pakistani leaders, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, are also part of the diplomatic engagement. This marks the first such pact involving Pakistan, which is the only Muslim nation with a nuclear arsenal.
