No ‘miscalculation’ against Iran will go unanswered amid Mecca defense pact: MP
A senior Iranian lawmaker has warned that any “miscalculation” against Iran would be met with a response, a day after Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey signed a trilateral defense agreement.
Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, wrote on X that the defense pact, signed on Friday, demonstrated that Arab states in the region had come to recognize that security could only be achieved through regional cooperation.
“The Mecca pact shows that Arab countries have finally realized that security depends on cooperation among regional countries,” Azizi said.
However, he added that the signatories had yet to find the correct path toward establishing a lasting regional security framework.
Azizi also cautioned against any “potential miscalculation,” asserting that Iran had consistently proven its ability to respond to any threat.
“Strong Iran has proven that no mistake will go unanswered,” he wrote.
The Mecca Joint Defense Agreement aims to strengthen collective deterrence against any act of aggression and stipulates that an armed attack against any one of the three countries will be regarded as an attack on all, they said in a joint statement.
It aims to strengthen collective security and promote peace, security and stability in the region and beyond.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, said on Friday that security in the Persian Gulf region must be built from within the region, with all regional countries participating in its provision.
“Security is something that must be built from within the region, and all regional countries should participate in providing it,” Gharibabadi said in a pre-recorded interview with IRNA.
