| | Three Flags, One Shield: Inside the Makkah Pact, Reshaping the Middle East | | |
Asad Mirza
On August 7, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan signed the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement, an "Islamic NATO"-style mutual-defence pact, in Islam's holiest city rather than any capital. Born from doubts about US protection after Iranian strikes went unanswered, and Yemen's collapsing truce, the deal reshapes regional alignments - unsettling Iran, unnerving Israel, and drawing wary attention from India amid a related disinformation flare-up.
On August 7, in the holy city of Makkah, three men who lead very different countries stood together and signed a document that many in the region had been quietly expecting, and dreading, for months.

| | NATO's Bipolar Summit | | |
Asad Mirza
Donald Trump turned NATO's Ankara summit into a one-man show - reviving Iran hostilities, threatening Spain, demanding Greenland, and needling allies - while Secretary-General Mark Rutte's flattery-and-spending strategy kept the alliance intact. The summit exposed a NATO that survives not through unity, but through the careful, anxious management of one man's moods.
When Donald Trump landed in Ankara this week for NATO's annual summit, the alliance's carefully choreographed script survived roughly as long as his motorcade took to reach the venue. What followed was, by multiple accounts, a "marathon, high-energy performance" - the White House's own words - that left ... |
