Iran Slams Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, Says Security Not for Sale by ‘Lying Brokers’
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei criticized the Mecca joint defence pact, stating regional states now understand security cannot be bought from deceitful intermediaries.
In a pointed rebuke, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Baghaei dismissed the newly formed Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, declaring that regional nations have come to the understanding that security cannot be traded by deceptive brokers. The comment, which appeared on the Telegram channel @FirstSquaw, signals Tehran’s displeasure with the emerging military coordination among some Gulf states.
The agreement’s specifics remain undisclosed, but Baghaei’s statement reflects Iran’s persistent narrative that outside powers are peddling a false sense of safety. No further details on Iran’s potential response were immediately available.
