Something that previously was driven by American hegemonic desires would now be driven by regional states and their sense of threat and need.
uh seeing the rise of Iran right now.
I don't think that is where they intended to go.
I think this ultimately is more targeting uh Israel because the American security umbrella has not only shown itself to be ineffective vis-a-vis Iran, but it's also shown itself to be completely ineffective in protecting these countries from Israeli aggression.
Yes, from Israel bombing Doha.
To America's inability to sustain and know to Israel when Israel are doing things, is doing things in the region that are detrimental to the region and detrimental to US interests.
This requires some sort of a reaction, some sort of a constellation in the region that manages to put up a buffer against it.
The question, the second question is, how credible is it?
Because all of these different agreements are go only as far as their credibility is willing to take.
Is Pakistan willing to go to war with Iran?
Over an attack on Saudi Arabia?
It hasn't so far.
Pakistan already has an agreement with uh Saudi Arabia and it was never actually actualized during this war.
And the Saudis themselves say that they never asked for it to be actualized.
But nevertheless, it raises question marks: will Turkey do it?
I find that very unlikely.
My hope is, however, that this does not lead into a direction of some form of
uh block formation in the region, but rather that the region understands that the only way to get out of the security dilemma that all of them are faced with right now is to move towards an inclusive security arrangement.
This may end up becoming an interim step towards that.
But if it ends up becoming the end uh destination, then I fear that it will be another one of these block formations that tend to create more conflicts than it actually resolves.
