Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan recently announced that Ankara is prepared to provide military and technical assistance to Saudi Arabia as it faces escalating threats from Houthi strikes. This support is framed within the framework of the "Mecca Joint Defence Agreement," a trilateral pact established between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. Under this agreement, an act of aggression against one member is viewed as an attack on all, prompting Turkey to stand in solidarity with Riyadh against the ongoing aerial and drone assaults targeting Saudi infrastructure and national sovereignty.

Despite the mounting pressure from these conflicts, Fidan emphasized that Saudi Arabia has no interest in being drawn into the broader hostilities between the U.S. and Iran. While Turkey has called for an urgent diplomatic resolution to the crisis, noting that the economic fallout is becoming increasingly unsustainable, it remains committed to its defense obligations. As regional tensions continue to rise, Turkey—possessing the second-largest military in NATO—stands ready to bolster its partners, even as Islamabad maintains a cautious stance, indicating that any collective response from the trio will be carefully weighed when the timing is deemed appropriate.
