Ebrahim Rezaei, a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, posted on X: “Saudis must know that a paper agreement with Turkey and Pakistan will not bring them security, just as years of one-sided nursing to the Americans did not bring them security. Reform your policies so that you do not need to beg for security from others.” It further provides for the “enhancement of all aspects of defence cooperation among the three States,” the statement said. Sharif had visited Saudi Arabia in April, during which he had held talks with the Kingdom’s top leadership. Under the defence framework, Pakistan deployed military personnel and aircraft to Saudi Arabia to support joint training, defence cooperation and the kingdom’s security requirements.
