Following military strikes on Iran in late February, key regional powers including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey initiated diplomatic efforts to evaluate the potential for broader conflict. As it became evident that the Iranian government remained stable, these nations prioritized collective security to prevent a regional escalation that could threaten their respective interests. This shared concern prompted high-level discussions regarding a unified approach to safeguarding regional stability. A senior diplomat confirmed that these consultations were instrumental in the development of the Makkah defence framework, reflecting a strategic shift toward cooperation among these influential Muslim countries to mitigate the risks of a wider war.
