"Islamic Nato" For Muslim Countries? | Spotlight

A NATO-like defence framework is taking shape outside the Western world, with Türkiye in talks to join a security grouping involving Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Often described by analysts as an "Islamic NATO", the emerging arrangement is built around a collective defence principle, where an attack on one member is treated as an attack on all. The pact originates from a 2025 defence agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and could evolve into a trilateral bloc. Experts say it combines military strength, deterrence and resources, potentially reshaping regional and global security dynamics.
