Mekke'de Savunma Anlaşması: Pakistan, Suudi Arabistan ve Türkiye'den Ortak Hamle

Özet · AI üretimi

Pakistan, Suudi Arabistan ve Türkiye, Cuma günü Mekke'de Ortak Savunma Anlaşması imzaladı. ABD ile İran arasında kilitlenmiş bir savaşın sürdüğü, Amerikan savunma şemsiyesinin Suudi Arabistan ve diğer Körfez ülkelerine yeterli koruma sağlayamadığı bir dönemde gelen bu anlaşma, sembolik bir gelişme olarak öne çıkıyor. Anlaşma, bölgede askeri ittifakların yeniden şekillendiğine işaret ediyor. Anlaşmanın detayları kamuoyuyla paylaşılmazken, üç ülkenin ortak tehdit algısı etrafında bir araya geldiği anlaşılıyor. ABD'nin askeri varlığının son dönem saldırıları engellemekte yetersiz kalması, Körfez ülkelerini alternatif güvenlik mimarileri aramaya itiyor. Pakistan'ın bölgedeki stratejik konumu, Türkiye'nin savunma yetenekleri ve Suudi Arabistan'ın liderlik rolü, bu yeni eksenin potansiyel ağırlığını artırıyor. Bu gelişme, Orta Doğu'da ABD'nin güvenilirliğinin sorgulandığı ve güç boşluklarının oluştuğu bir konjonktürde gerçekleşti. Anlaşma, bölgesel güvenlik denklemine yeni bir boyut kazandırabilir; ancak uygulamanın nasıl şekilleneceği ve caydırıcılık kapasitesi zamanla netleşecek.

    Makkah agreement

    Tehran, İran

    IN the midst of a gruelling war between the US and Iran — currently at a stalemate — the signing of the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye on Friday is a highly symbolic development. It comes at a time when the American defence umbrella has proved of little help in protecting Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf Arab states. Rather, the presence of US military assets in these states has pulled them into the war, as the Iranians and their regional armed allies target these facilities. Seen in this context, many questions swirl around the new defence agreement, specifically the fact that it considers an attack against one signatory to be an attack against all. The prime minister, the Saudi crown prince and the Turkish president were all upbeat about the new pact. PM Shehbaz Sharif termed it “historic”, while President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said it is open to “friendly nations”. This is not an ‘Islamic Nato’. Moreover, similar alliances have been attempted before, such as the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition founded in 2015 and headed by former army chief Gen Raheel Sharif. The latter alliance is not linked to any major operations. Pakistani-Saudi defence collaboration goes back decades, and the current pact only solidifies the arrangement, while also bringing Turkiye on board. But the question in many minds is what role the pact will play vis-à-vis Iran. A Saudi deputy minister has said the agreement “does not represent an effort to establish a military axis or a sectarian bloc”. This clarification is welcome. On the other hand, an adviser to Iran’s supreme leader has said that more cooperation among regional states “can secure its security”. If the US-Iran war remains unresolved and major hostilities erupt again, the new alliance will be put to the test, especially if Tehran resumes attacks on the pro-America GCC states. Suffice it to say, such alliances should work to reduce tensions between Muslims states, and not be used against any Muslim country. The US has shown it is uninterested in protecting its Gulf allies, even though the latter have purchased billions of dollars’ worth of weaponry from it. Instead of depending on the US or other foreign powers for security, regional states — indeed all OIC members — should pledge to refrain from aggression against each other. Iran should stop attacking the GCC states, while the Gulf sheikhdoms should stop foreign forces from using their soil against Iran. The Arabs and the Iranians cannot change their geography; they have to live side by side; hence it would be best if they worked out a modus vivendi for mutual security. Hopefully, the new defence agreement can promote unity within the Muslim world, instead of adding to the existing fissures. Published in Dawn, August 9th, 2026

    Pakistan to partner with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar on oil storage scheme

    İran

    Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik on Sunday said plans were underway to launch a scheme with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar for oil storage to strengthen energy security. Pakistan has been planning to boost domestic storage for crude oil and refined products to increase its energy security, it emerged in May. With no strategic petroleum reserves, the country has been left exposed to oil supply shocks resulting from the US-Iran war that has choked supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. Addressing a press conference in Lahore today, Malik said: “I am grateful to the governments of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar that we will have a bonded scheme with them, under which these countries will store their oil on the secure territories of Pakistan at their own cost, and supply to the entire world from here.” He added that Pakistan will have the right that in the case of a conflict, it could “buy those resources from them by paying for them and fulfil our needs”. The minister said the “commercial bonded scheme drafted with the help of Aramco and other major companies” has been forwarded to the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) upon the directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. “When, God-willing, a decision is made on it next week, you will see the progress,” he added, asserting that Pakistan’s energy needs will be fulfilled “without spending money and despite a lack of resources”. The US-Israel war on Iran has caused oil supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively blockaded, leading to unprecedented hikes in petroleum prices. The minister said the government was committed to strengthening energy security. He noted that $500 million were required for storing crude oil reserves for one month, in addition to $300-400m needed for an underground storage system. He said the government would later debate whether the country could invest this amount, adding that the leadership would work on it in the upcoming months. Highlighting Pakistan’s energy challenges, Malik said the country imported around 90 per cent of its energy requirements, while domestic oil production stood at approximately 70,000 barrels per day against a daily demand of around 500,000 barrels. He stressed the need to accelerate indigenous oil and gas exploration to reduce reliance on imports. He said the prime minister and the field marshal had tasked a leading international company with preparing a comprehensive roadmap for the country’s energy sector, which would be presented to the national leadership in the coming months. Malik also said Turkiye’s Turkish Petroleum would soon commence offshore drilling operations in Pakistan’s territorial waters, paving the way for significant foreign investment in the energy sector. He announced that tenders for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) would open on Monday and said the government had made arrangements to issue new gas connections to facilitate consumers. Speaking on international developments, Malik said that despite economic pressures from the US-Iran war, the government ensured uninterrupted fuel supplies across the country and made “every effort” to protect consumers from the full impact of rising global prices. The minister said the government remained committed to providing maximum relief to the public despite limited financial resources. He added that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had introduced a transparent petroleum pricing mechanism, with all pricing calculations available on the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority’s (Ogra) website. Since mid-July, the government has been revising fuel prices on a near-daily basis due to fluctuations in international market prices as hostilities between the US and Iran renewed. Before that, petroleum prices were revised weekly since the war began, alongside measures for conserving fuel. Recalling that the federal cabinet had approved a refinery policy last month, Malik affirmed that the government was resolving long-standing financial issues facing the petroleum sector. He added that the flow of circular debt had been halted and efforts were underway to clear outstanding liabilities inherited from previous administrations.

    Mideast outreach

    Tehran, İran

    OVER the past few days, Pakistan has been going the extra mile to assure Iran that the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement it signed last week with Saudi Arabia and Turkiye poses no threat to Tehran. In a recent telephone call, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar told his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi that the pact is “not an instrument of confrontation”. Moreover, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif told the cabinet that the agreement is “entirely for defence purposes”. Tehran seems to have understood the messaging, as the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman said his country had no reason to believe the pact was aimed at encircling it, and that it showed that countries of the region could not depend on the American security umbrella. Perhaps the reason for speculation surrounding the deal was the mutual defence component, which says that an attack on one signatory is an attack on all. Considering the targeting of US military assets in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states by Iran during the active phase of hostilities with America, observers have debated whether the signatories of the deal could step in militarily. However, the clarifications regarding Iran are welcome. In fact, what is needed is a new regional security architecture that binds the Arabs, Iranians and other states together. Achieving this would be difficult, considering the pro-America stance of the GCC states. However, the American military footprint in the Gulf and larger Middle East may eventually shrink, which means that regional states will have to eventually work out a security framework amongst themselves. The Makkah pact could provide a blueprint for such defence cooperation. The Turkish president has already said that the pact is open to other countries. If Iran were to be brought on board, it could significantly alter the regional security landscape. For this to happen, the existing high levels of mistrust between the Arabs, particularly Saudi Arabia, and the Iranians, would need to be reduced. But states such as Pakistan and Turkiye, which maintain cordial ties with both sides, can attempt to bridge the gap. As a CBM, Iran should open up the Strait of Hormuz, as its continued closure is battering Gulf economies. The Arab states should also pledge to disallow outsiders from staging aggression against Iran from their soil. Instead of depending on extra-regional powers, the states of the Gulf and Middle East must themselves create a new security architecture. Not only would this reduce the tensions that exist between them, it could also serve as an expanded defence pact to deter Israel from attacking regional states. Tel Aviv has attacked Iran and its allies, as well as pro-America states like Qatar, hence an effective regional defensive bloc could make Israel think twice about its violent adventurism.
