'Paper Agreement With Turkey, Pak Will Not Bring You Security': Iran To Saudi

A member of Iran's Parliament and National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has criticised the new defence pact between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey and said that even though the agreement has been signed, it would not guarantee Riyadh lasting security.Ebrahim Rezaei reacted to the defence agreement on X and wrote, "Saudis must know that a paper agreement with Turkey and Pakistan will not bring them security, just as years of one-sided nursing to the Americans did not bring them security."He claimed that if Saudi Arabia reforms its policies, it would not need to "beg" for security from others.سعودی ها باید بدانند که توافق کاغذی با ترکیه و پاکستان برای آنها امنیت آور نیست، همان طور که سال ها شیردهی یکطرفه به آمریکایی ها برایشان امنیت نیاورد. سیاست هایتان را اصلاح کنید تا نیاز نباشد از دیگران #گدایی_امنیت کنید. - ابراهیم رضایی (@EbrahimRezaei14) August 7, 2026Earlier in the day, the three countries signed a defence pact called the "Mecca Joint Defence Agreement" to strengthen security ties against a backdrop of war between the United States and Iran, which has even drawn in unwilling Gulf states and disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea.Inside The Pak-Saudi-Turkey Defence DealAccording to the deal, an attack against one of the three countries will be regarded as an attack against them all.Read | 'Attack On One, Attack On All': Pak, Saudi, Turkey Sign Key Defence Pact"The Agreement is intended to strengthen collective deterrence against any act of aggression, and stipulates that any armed attack against any one of the three States shall be regarded as an attack against them all.
