Is America Losing Its Grip On The Gulf? Saudi Arabia, Pakistan & Turkey’s New Defense Pact Explained
Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey have signed a NATO-style defence pact, raising fresh questions about the future of security and power politics in the Gulf
Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey have signed a NATO-style defence pact, raising fresh questions about the future of security and power politics in the Gulf and wider Middle East. The agreement comes at a time when traditional US influence in the region is facing new challenges, while Gulf nations are increasingly looking to diversify their strategic partnerships and security relationships.
In this special discussion, Fareed Zakaria speaks with Harvard’s Tarek Masoud and Israeli intelligence expert Danny Citrinowicz to examine what the new defence alignment could mean for the region. Could the Saudi-Pakistan-Turkey partnership mark the beginning of a new security architecture? Is the Gulf gradually preparing for a post-American order? And what does this emerging equation mean for Washington, Iran, Israel and other regional powers?
From shifting alliances and military cooperation to the future of US influence in the Middle East, we examine the key questions shaping the Gulf’s evolving geopolitical landscape.
