Saudi Analyst admits that Pakistan warned Arab countries that India will infiltrate in gulf to gain information for Israel.
In return, India would get military technological transfer from Israel.
Iran invited to the Mecca Pact: What does it mean?
Iran confirmed it was invited to join the Mecca Pact, the defensive military alliance between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan.
Although no word has been said by the 3 founding members, the secrecy is strategic. Officially confirming Iran’s entry before the terms regarding militias are negotiated would trigger immediate, harsh diplomatic retaliation from Israel and the United States.
This invitation directly involves what I addressed yesterday: who pays the bill for peace in the Gulf, and how. In geopolitical conflicts, imposing military agreements usually serve as a facade to solve urgent economic and logistical bottlenecks.
The inclusion or rapprochement of Iran in the Mecca Pact is, fundamentally, a diplomatic gambit to end Tehran’s economic suffocation and secure the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, within that regional economic arrangement I mentioned yesterday.
Saudi Arabia and its neighbors saw their ports and refineries become targets, and their economies faltered under the blockade of the strait.
They need to reopen the maritime route at all costs to salvage their development plans, but such a move is impossible without looking like a military victory for Trump. Amidst all this, Iran signaled it accepts negotiating the management of the Strait of Hormuz and easing the blockade.
The invitation to the pact operates as a bargaining chip and a security guarantee that Arab neighbors will not support attacks on Iranian soil if the route is cleared.
But more than that, by accepting dialogue or entering the Mecca Pact, Iran shatters the US and Israeli strategy of complete isolation. Sitting at the table with Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan grants Tehran the status of a legitimate and indispensable political actor for stability.
For the GCC, financing the neighbor’s reconstruction is not an act of charity, but a security strategy. It must be consolidated within a regional bloc that also encompasses defense aspects.
Significant progress has already been made.
The sovereign wealth funds of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait would inject billions into the Iranian economy, but the disbursements would be tied to the gradual dismantling of armed militia financing, and this remains a hurdle.
What Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan are offering Iran is a political space for Tehran to control its militias without looking like it surrendered to the West.
With adherence to the pact, these issues would be discussed internally, holding Iran accountable, which will continue to control its militias. The goal is not to achieve a perfect peace, but to create game rules restrictive enough to make Iran think twice before triggering its regional satellites.
It looks like an arrangement that could work, not by itself, but because there is now a clear desire to resolve the bottlenecks that were halting the dialogue. Trump knows this and wants the same bottlenecks resolved, but without further damage to his image.
And where does Israel stand in this?

New Zealand PM interrupted by protesters demanding sanctions against Israel
"You're supporting the Gaza genocide. You should have sanctioned Israel, but instead you supported it.
They killed 20,000 children, and you gave Israel money. They, they starved the children of Gaza, and you gave Israel money.
If this was the 1940s, you would have supported the Nazis. You're a disgrace"
🇹🇷🇮🇱 Pravin Sawhney argues that a direct Turkey-Israel war is not inevitable because Ankara now has a regional fallback through its new defense partnerships.
But he makes a far more provocative claim about Israel’s strategy: that expanding the conflict may actually be part of the objective.
“Israelis want basically a bigger war and Trump wants to end the war.”
With Turkey expanding its presence in Syria and Israel determined to prevent it, the question is how long the two can keep their interests from colliding.

Iranian-American Comedian Max Amini Says the U.S. is Fighting a ‘Species’ w/ ‘No Sense of Morals’
“We are not our government. Those are not our people … because the people that are fighting today against the U.S. and Israel are not the Iranians. They are this species that have no sense of morals … I think Trump made it very clear the war is not on the people of Iran, the war is with the government of Iran.”

Turkish President Erdogan on the Mecca Agreement:
I would put it this way: as is known, what NATO’s Article 5 contains applies in a similar way to the concept of mutual defense established here.
Therefore, if any problem or attack occurs, these three countries will be able to take the necessary steps together.
It could be against Türkiye, against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, or against Pakistan.
Whichever country is targeted, if an attack occurs against any one of these three countries, then, since there is a mutual-defense pact, the three countries will be able to defend one another against any kind of attack.
Viral video shows the moment a toddler of Pakistani origin approached two London cops during Independence Day celebrations on Aug 14, and the internet is in love with the police officers’ reaction.
BIG: Trump:
Very happy to see that Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Pakistan have recently, and finally, signed the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement.
It shows how the Middle East is coming together, and how Countries will finally be able to defend themselves in a more meaningful way.
Congratulations to the Great Leadership of the three Nations mentioned. THIS IS A BIG, BOLD, AND IMPORTANT FIRST STEP — WOW!
پاکستانی ایک جنونی قوم ہے
اب اگر ہماری جنگ پاکستان کے ساتھ ہوئی تو
ہم سفارتی اور عسکری محاز پر تنہا ہونگے۔
پاکستان کی ضرورت۔۔چین،امریکہ،مڈل ایسٹ سمیت سب کو ہے۔

تھوڑا سا بھی شعور رکھنے والا بھارتی Analyst اپنے لیڈرشپ کو سمجھا رہا ہے کہ
پاکستان آپ کی پہنچ سے دور نکل چکا ہے۔
مگر مودی،اجیت ڈوول سمیت
انتہا پسند ہندو لیڈرشپ اس سچ کو جھٹلا کر اپنی جنتا کو
مسلسل دھوکہ دے رہے ہیں۔
