Mecca Agreement
On 7 August 2026, Turkiye, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed a bilateral mutual defense treaty, following regional tensions amid the 2026 Iran war.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan stated the “The Mecca Joint Defence Agreement” is a “commitment to further strengthening their collective security and to promoting peace, security, and stability in the region.” The agreement is modelled after NATO’s Article 5, where an attack on one member state is treated as an attack on all.
Fact or Fiction?
A reverse-search of the video’s first keyframe led to the same video posted by the Prime Minister of India’s Youtube channel on15 August 2026. The clip is titled ‘PM Modi addresses the nation on the 80th Independence Day from the ramparts of the Red Fort’.
