Many view the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement as a significant collaboration that could challenge existing regional powers and strengthen collective deterrence.

Iran views the Makkah Agreement not as a threat but as a new regional dynamic, indicating a changing perception towards US security guarantees.

Some suggest the pact highlights the limits of American power in the region and is a consequence of US foreign policy decisions, particularly regarding Iran.

Some analysts express skepticism about the pact's practical effectiveness, questioning whether Turkey or Saudi Arabia would intervene in conflicts involving Pakistan, or if Pakistan's nuclear deterrent would extend to its allies.

The geobit argues that Iran's current geopolitical situation, including its conflicts and the pro-US stance of potential pact members, makes its entry into the Mecca defense pact impossible.
