'No nuclear agenda': MBS rushes to pacify Mojtaba after Iran's angry rant on Turkey-Pak-Saudi deal?

Published on Aug 08, 2026 07:30 am IST

Saudi Arabia has moved to reassure Iran after criticism erupted over Riyadh's new trilateral defence partnership with Turkey and Pakistan. Saudi Deputy Minister Rayed Krimly insisted the agreement has no nuclear ambitions, is not directed against any country and should not be viewed as a military alliance or sectarian bloc. The clarification came after Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Rezaei questioned the pact, raising fresh concerns over regional tensions. Is Riyadh trying to prevent another diplomatic crisis with Tehran, or does the new partnership signal a deeper strategic shift in the Middle East?
