Pakistan-Saudi-Turkiye defence pact raises US strategy questions

Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, and Pakistan signed a mutual defence agreement in Mecca, prompting analysts to debate its impact on US strategy. The pact, which treats an attack on one as an attack on all, may challenge Arab-Israeli normalisation under the Abraham Accords. Some experts see it as a shift toward strategic autonomy, while others say it aligns with US burden-sharing goals.
