Pakistan Calls for United Military Front Against Israel Amid New Saudi-Turkish Security Pact

Iranian officials have repeatedly dismissed the security pact between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey, warning it will not guarantee Saudi Arabia's safety. Mahmoud Nabavian, a member of Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, criticized the agreement on social media, stating that reliance on American bases and allies will not bring security to Saudi rulers.

Meanwhile, Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif publicly urged the formation of a unified military front against Israel, describing Israel as a threat to the entire Muslim world. Speaking in a television interview, Asif emphasized that Israel exploits divisions among Islamic countries and that changes in Israeli leadership would not alter its anti-Islamic stance or policies toward Palestinians.

Asif called for Muslim nations to adopt a unified position against Israel, highlighting Israel's origins from the 1940s Balfour Declaration and labeling it an illegitimate state posing direct threats to regional countries. He stressed that the Palestinian issue remains central and unresolved, and until it is addressed, the Muslim world must stand united.

Regarding the new Saudi-Pakistan-Turkey security agreement, Asif noted that while official details are pending, the pact already addresses various terrorism threats, including those allegedly supported by India, and incorporates lessons from last year's conflict. He advocated expanding the alliance to include more Muslim countries, creating a NATO-like framework to set aside bilateral disputes and confront shared geopolitical threats, particularly Israel.
