Pakistan Iran defense pact call

Ishaq Dar walked Iran's Abbas Araghchi through the key points of a new defense pact signed Friday in Mecca. Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey are now tied by a NATO-style clause: hit one, you've hit all three. Araghchi thanked Dar for the call, but Tehran hasn't elaborated. The pact is reportedly aimed at Iran, whose attacks on Saudi targets and U.S. interests have been a feature of the war. An Iranian lawmaker dismissed the whole thing as a “paper agreement” that won't keep Saudi Arabia safe.
