Turkey is reportedly in advanced discussions to join a defense alliance between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, a pact that includes a mutual defense clause similar to NATO's Article 5. This potential trilateral agreement would combine Turkey's military experience and defense industry, Pakistan's nuclear capabilities, and Saudi Arabia's financial resources. Sources suggest the move aims to strengthen security and deterrence amid questions about U.S. reliability and evolving regional dynamics, potentially shifting the balance of power in the Middle East and beyond.
