BREAKING: Iran Reportedly Invited to Join Mecca Joint Defence Agreement
Iran has reportedly been invited to join the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, a proposed security framework involving Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Türkiye.
🔴 Mehdi Rahimi, head of Iran’s parliamentary news agency Khaneh Mellat, told Al-Mayadeen that Tehran had received an invitation and that the proposal is currently “under consideration.”
🚨 However, the reported invitation has not yet been independently confirmed by Iran’s Foreign Ministry or senior leadership, nor has it been publicly confirmed by Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or Türkiye.
If confirmed, Iran’s potential involvement would represent a significant development in regional security cooperation and could reshape strategic relations across the Middle East and South Asia.
