Iran Comments on Pakistan-Turkey-Saudi Security Pact and Regional Security Shift
Iran's Foreign Ministry stated it has no concerns about the new security pact between Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, viewing it as a regional shift towards self-reliant security. Spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei described the agreement as reflecting a change in perception towards the United States, emphasizing that regional countries no longer see security as something to be bought from external powers. The pact, signed amid ongoing tensions involving the US and Iran, aims to strengthen collective deterrence among the signatories.
