The combined might of Makkah defence pact
According to a report from the Gulf Times, a new trilateral collective-defence agreement was allegedly signed on Friday between Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Pakistan. The report claims the pact establishes a mutual defence framework where an armed attack against one signatory would be considered an attack against all three nations. However, extensive verification against official state news wires and international reporting confirms that no such agreement has been signed or announced by the governments of Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, or Pakistan. There is no evidence of a 'Makkah defence pact' in any official diplomatic records or regional news coverage. As such, the claims presented in the report appear to be entirely unsubstantiated and contradict the current diplomatic status between these three nations.

Why this score
There is no record of a trilateral collective-defence agreement between Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Pakistan in any credible international or regional news source. The claim of a 'Makkah defence pact' appears to be a fabrication, as no such treaty has been announced by the foreign ministries of these nations.
