WHAT HAPPENED
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Saturday that the NATO‑style defence pact signed yesterday by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan is not directed at any particular country, countering rumors it was created in response to the war in Iran.
In an interview with Anadolu Agency conducted a day after the three nations formalised the agreement, Fidan emphasized that the pact is a general security partnership. He noted that speculation linking it to Iran was unfounded. The agreement was highlighted by BBC News as a significant trilateral security accord, while Al Jazeera echoed Fidan’s claim that the pact is “not aimed at Iran.”
The pact comes amid heightened regional tensions in the Middle East, particularly the conflict involving Iran, and represents a strategic alignment between Ankara, Riyadh and Islamabad.
- The defence pact involves Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and was described by officials as NATO‑like.
- Turkish FM Hakan Fidan confirmed that the agreement is not aimed at Iran or any other single nation.
- Al Jazeera and BBC News reported the signing and reiterated the non‑targeted nature of the pact.
