Description
Turkey’s parliament has approved the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, a pact that treats an armed attack on any of the three countries as an attack on all of them. Lawmakers ratified it on Thursday as Saudi Arabia faces attacks from Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. The vote doesn’t send Turkish troops on its own; a deployment would need a separate mandate from parliament. The same day, Turkey’s Defense Ministry said a Turkish soldier killed Oct. 31 while responding to an illegal crossing on the Iran border was hit by fire assessed to have come from Iran. Former Navy SEAL Mike Ritland (@MikeRitland) breaks it down.
