Iran Sees No Threat in Pakistan-Turkey-Saudi Security Pact
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the deal reflects regional states relying on their own capabilities rather than outside powers.
DUBAI, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Iran sees no reason to be concerned that a new security pact between Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia is directed against Tehran, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday.
Baghaei said the pact showed a shift in regional countries' approach to security, with greater reliance on their own capabilities rather than outside powers.
"Any plan that is based on the geopolitical and historical realities of the region, is comprehensive and inclusive, and correctly identifies the enemy and the threat, has a chance of helping to strengthen security and prevent instability and abuses by the Zionist enemy and its allies," he added, referring to Israel.
