Let's see what happens the next time there's a skirmish on the lines of Operation Sindoor. I'd like to see how many of these treaty allies join Paxtan ?!
It's going the way previous treaties like CENTO & SEATO went. Apart from individual countries providing some material & monetary assistance to Paxtan nothing much happened.
However there exists a real danger of KSA bankrolling Turkey's massive MIC under construction which'd give Paxtan access & pose an alternative to China & the US . That ought to be worrying.
Yo Pops ! Please do yourself & us a favour & stick to threads on technical matters. That's where yours & Paddy's expertise lie .
Iran is, as long as drived by Mollah, an outcast.
Israel is a threat for Iran (mainly because Iran is a threat for israel). Between Israel and Turkey there is only Syria problem. But between Israel and Pakistan ???
It's early days, give it a few years, Long term it makes sense to have Iran sitting at the table

Tough for Iran to join Mecca pact as it is directed against Iran only and Russian influence within Iran.
