Saudi Arabia, Turkey + Pakistan Sign DEFENSE PACT Amid WAR in Iran, Yemen (Rachel Blevins)

Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan signed a mutual defense pact on Friday, with a NATO-inspired clause promising that an attack on ONE member would be treated as an attack on ALL.

This comes as U.S. bases in Saudi Arabia have been hit by Iran’s retaliatory strikes, AND as tensions soar in Yemen, with Ansarallah working to drive the Saudi influence out of the country.



Will Turkey and Pakistan actually engage in the fighting or is this just talk? This pact is a serious development, and partly non-sensical, since Pakistan has been a negotiating partner with Iran.
