Turkey Parliament to Ratify Defense Pacts With Saudi Arabia and Pakistan

🤝 ANKARA — Three militaries aligning formally while the region's biggest crisis has no ceasefire. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Turkey-Saudi-Pakistan ratification creates a triangular defense architecture outside NATO and the US-led coalition. Pakistan has nuclear capability; Saudi Arabia has cash and exposure; Turkey has F-16s and Aegean leverage. Houthi attacks are the stated trigger — but the timing, with Epic Fury imminent, signals these three are hedging against a post-strike regional order they didn't negotiate.
