Key Takeaways
AIPolitical analyst Muhannad Hafiz Oglu has said that the new alliance between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan is causing alarm in Iran and among its militias in the region, as Tehran recognizes the true strength of the coalition.
Speaking in an interview with Al Arabiya, Oglu added that the main goal of the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement is to enforce peace and stability by any means, preferably through diplomacy or political channels. However, if necessary, these countries are prepared to use force.
He noted that Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has stated these countries do not provoke Iran as Iran does them, nor do they distort geography or history. Still, they are ready to respond to any moves.
The analyst continued that the reactions of Houthi militias and Iran's proxies in Iraq indicate that fear is spreading within Iran's Revolutionary Guard, as they realize the Mecca Agreement is not symbolic but intended for real implementation. For this reason, they may seek preemptive strikes, while the three countries possess both wisdom and strength.
