Tehran: To counteract rising tensions in the Middle East and counter Israel's influence, Iran, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia are now preparing for a new strategic alliance. If this alliance is formed, it could create a major upheaval in regional politics and directly challenge Israel's growing military power.

Iran has initiated efforts to bring Turkey on board for this alliance. According to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister are in constant contact with senior Turkish leaders. Iran is also attempting to rebuild trust with Saudi Arabia through diplomatic talks and economic partnerships.

According to sources, the three countries are discussing a new framework for regional stability and security.

Muslim Countries Concerned About Israel's Growing Power

In the past few months, Israel has gained a significant military advantage over Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi rebels, making it a "superpower" in the Middle East.

Israel has carried out airstrikes in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Qatar, and even Iran. Following these attacks, Muslim countries in the region have begun to re-formulate their security policies.

It is being said that Iran is planning to take advantage of this situation and establish an Islamic Defense Alliance.

Turkey is a NATO member and has 600,000 active troops, with 300,000 in reserve. It possesses 2,238 tanks, 17 frigates, 13 submarines, and over 1,000 aircraft. Its 201 fighter jets could prove decisive in any war.

Saudi Arabia has 157,000 active troops and 150,000 paramilitary forces. Its Air Force (RSAF) has over 1,000 aircraft, including American F-15E Strike Eagles, British Tornado IDS, and Eurofighter Typhoons. Saudi Arabia recently signed a defense agreement with Pakistan, guaranteeing its nuclear security.

Iran currently has 580,000 troops and 200,000 trained reserve forces. It possesses 3,000 ballistic missiles and Shahed drones, which are also used by Russia. Furthermore, Iran also has strong allies like China and Russia.
