Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey have formed the Mecca Defense Alliance, a trilateral security pact reportedly including a collective defense clause similar to NATO's Article 5, signalling a potential shift towards regional security independence from the United States.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Security founders targeting Middle Eastern markets must rethink reliance on US-backed guarantees as the Mecca Defense Alliance builds a new regional framework. This pact opens a door to localised defence partnerships, shaping who you work and compete with in future deals.
