What Happened

Three Nations Unite Against Regional Threats

Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan have signed a joint defence agreement, stating that an attack on one of them would be considered an attack on all three. The pact was announced at a meeting between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif in Mecca. The agreement aims to strengthen security ties as the war between the US and Iran has drawn in Saudi Arabia and disrupted shipping in the region. This development was reported by the BBC.
