Islamabad has no objection to Iran and Egypt joining the mutual defense agreement signed with Ankara and Riyadh, Pakistan’s ambassador to Moscow, Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, told Al Mayadeen on Wednesday.

Tirmizi said the agreement with Saudi Arabia and Türkiye “is not a hostile pact directed against any country, but rather an effort to establish a regional security architecture.”

Turkish leaders have insisted that the new trilateral defence pact with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan is not directed at Iran.

Turkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Saturday that the pact does not identify Iran, or any other country, as a common threat.

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey signed a joint defence agreement in Mecca on Friday, wedding ​Sunni Muslim U.S. allies alarmed at a regional conflagration that has rained missile fire onto Gulf oil exporters.

Iran and its allies have been firing on Saudi Arabia and other Gulf ‌states, and blockading their energy shipments, since the U.S. and Israel attacked it on February 28 in a major escalation after years of regional tumult.
