Turkey has submitted a defense pact with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to its parliament for ratification. Sources close to the Turkish government confirm that the pact, signed in Mecca, aims to strengthen military cooperation between the three nations. The move comes as Turkey turns to Iran to contain the Houthi movement in Yemen, according to Al-Monitor, which cites sources saying Turkey's defense commitments to Saudi Arabia are growing.

Turkish authorities have not publicly disclosed the terms of the pact, but Middle East Eye has obtained the full text. The document outlines the framework for joint military operations and intelligence sharing between the three countries.

The ratification process is expected to be a formality, but it marks a significant shift in Turkey's regional alliances, which have been shaped by its relations with Iran and other Middle Eastern nations.
