[00:00:38] Federal Information Minister Atta Tar said that the agreement between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey
[00:00:42] will strengthen defense. It will take the alliance to the next stage. Today
[00:00:46] is a success for every Pakistani in terms of history and agreements. Speaking to Geo News, he said
[00:00:49] that the whole world is acknowledging Pakistan's defensive capabilities. Pakistan has always sent a message
[00:00:53] of unity. The entire nation united at the time of the market right and defeated India.
[00:00:57] دی۔
[00:01:32] Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that the government in Islamabad is in danger, the countdown has begun.
[00:01:35] The countdown was not started by the Pakistan Peoples Party but by their own people. This
[00:01:39] fight is between Islamabad and Lahore. This is their family's own problem. After electing Azad Kashmir,
[00:01:43] he said that it is a misconception of the Muslim
[00:01:46] There is also a lot of flexibility League-N that it will form a government in Muzaffarabad. There are still 11 seats left.
[00:03:01] UAE is most likely to
[00:03:03] not oppose it.
[00:03:46] Bilawal Bhutto sahib also said
[00:03:54] survive. In a
[00:04:06] Hello, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey today reached
[00:04:10] a defense agreement. This is between these three countries, and
[00:04:14] it is being said that under this agreement, the three countries
[00:04:18] will jointly combine their defense capabilities,
[00:04:21] and an attack on any one country
[00:04:25] responsibilities to those will be considered an attack on all three. The spokesperson for the Foreign Office has also issued a statement regarding this, which
[00:04:29] will also be part of the program.
[00:04:51] among these three countries,
[00:05:00] Especially regarding this point in the agreement, yes,
[00:05:04] the last thing you said is the most important thing, which is when
[00:05:08] this agreement took place. At a time when, obviously, there is a tension
[00:05:12] going on. There is tension between Iran and America,
[00:05:14] and ever since this whole episode began, after
[00:05:18] Iran was attacked, we are now seeing a very big
[00:05:22] change in the developments, a very changing
[00:05:25] environment, and if we look at it, all three are very important
[00:05:29] countries: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and
[00:05:33] Pakistan. Now, it remains to be seen how
[00:05:36] Iran views this agreement in this particular
[00:05:40] context.
[00:05:42] And, obviously, the full details of this agreement,
[00:05:46] we can analyze it from several angles,
[00:05:50] because when this war began
[00:05:53] between America and Iran, the Gulf
[00:05:56] states had a concern when, although Iran's stance is that
[00:06:00] it only attacked American installations
[00:06:04] that were in those Gulf States, but nevertheless, that tension increased,
[00:06:07] and especially after the MOU, when the attacks occurred,
[00:06:11] then Iran's position became a somewhat difficult position. Iran found itself in a difficult
[00:06:15] position, and it appears that pressure
[00:06:18] on Iran will now increase regarding this, but there are other
[00:06:22] contexts as well. Remember that between Saudi Arabia
[00:06:26] and Turkey, a few years ago, China played a very important
[00:06:29] role in bringing Iran closer to Saudi Arabia.
[00:06:33] So, and the most important aspect
[00:06:37] of it is that last line in the
[00:06:40] law. That an attack on one country
[00:06:44] will be considered an attack on all three countries. Now,
[00:06:48] in this agreement,
[00:06:50] can any other countries join later?
[00:06:54] Obviously, we have not seen the full context of this agreement,
[00:06:58] but because previously, talks were ongoing with other countries as well,
[00:07:02] but I think this is a very
[00:07:05] important agreement,
[00:07:08] and not only is it an important agreement for these three countries,
[00:07:11] but also for the Gulf States and for this region, it is a very important
[00:07:15] agreement, because Pakistan and Iran are also neighbors,
[00:07:18] and Pakistan's relationship with Turkey has always been very good. So, I think
[00:07:22] its significance will definitely become clear
[00:07:25] in the future, but in this particular
[00:07:29] context, a defense agreement, agreeing
[00:07:32] that an attack on one will be considered an attack on all, is a very
[00:07:35] significant point. The importance of
[00:07:38] the Middle East, especially Turkey, in this, we know
[00:08:12] that the agreement between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey
[00:08:15] is a result of the attack by America and Israel
[00:08:19] on Iran on February 28th. After that, Iran
[00:08:23] closed the Strait of Hormuz, and
[00:08:26] now the Strait of Hormuz is open, but a new
[00:08:30] world emerged after the attack
[00:08:33] on Iran, meaning after February 28th of this
[00:08:36] year. So, this agreement is basically
[00:08:40] a result of that,
[00:08:44] that these three countries you are seeing—Saudi
[00:08:47] Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey
[00:08:51] —among these three countries, there are religious ties, no doubt
[00:08:54] about that, but there is also
[00:08:58] another common thing, which is that all three
[00:09:02] countries—Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan
[00:09:05] —all three countries are American allies.
[00:09:09] You see that on February 28th,
[00:09:13] America and Israel attacked Iran,
[00:09:16] and after that, the Strait of Hormuz was closed, and Iran retaliated,
[00:09:20] so one thing became clear in this, that America
[00:09:23] cannot provide security assurance in this region.
[00:09:27] America has now decided, which is being demonstrated,
[00:09:30] that America will withdraw from this region,
[00:09:33] and it will allow its
[00:09:37] who will be its allies. Saudi Arabia is also an ally of America,
[00:09:41] Turkey is also an ally of America, and Pakistan is also an American ally. In fact, Pakistan
[00:09:44] also has an additional point, which is that if
[00:09:48] there is any one country in the whole world
[00:09:51] that can talk frankly,
[00:09:54] candidly, openly with Iran, it is Pakistan. So,
[00:09:58] Pakistan is a bridge. Now, if you have talked about Turkey
[00:10:04] then the importance of Turkey is that, look, Turkey's
[00:10:08] economy has faced challenges of inflation and so on,
[00:10:11] but Turkey's influence will be visible
[00:10:15] in Syria, and it will also be visible in Iraq. You know that
[00:10:19] when America was leaving
[00:10:22] Afghanistan, the airport,
[00:10:25] you remember, it was people from Turkey
[00:10:28] and Qatar and others who were present at the airport, and
[00:10:31] Turkey has a great influence in Afghanistan. The
[00:10:35] industrial complex within Turkey
[00:10:38] is very powerful. Their economy is weak, but their industry is very
[00:10:41] powerful, and which industry? Their defense industry. They have very good drones
[00:10:45] and such things related to industry are famous
[00:10:49] in Turkey. Now, what is the result? The result
[00:10:52] is that Turkey's
[00:12:25] A similar agreement is most likely with Egypt
[00:12:28] as well, because Egypt is also very important in this whole card
[00:12:32] of four; Egypt was also in it. Absolutely right, absolutely right. Yes.
[00:12:36] So, Egypt, you will see
[00:12:39] that in the coming months, Egypt will also be important. What is the important thing? Who
[00:12:43] in this region will support this agreement?
[00:12:47] Qatar will support this agreement, Jordan will support
[00:12:50] this agreement, UAE is very,
[00:12:54] very interesting.
[00:13:28] That's the first thing. The second thing is
[00:13:31] that they will most possibly give a guarded
[00:13:35] response, an ambiguous one, but they will not oppose
[00:13:39] it. Okay, I wanted to understand this
[00:13:43] and get your opinion on this, how powerful a message is being sent
[00:13:46] to the challengers, especially in this region. Benazir, what is your opinion?
[00:13:50] What message is this to them?
[00:13:54] And what do you think,
[00:13:58] how can this change the security dynamics?
[00:14:01] Alina, first of all, this has been a great fear for Israel.
[00:14:05] They had talked about a Sunni axis much earlier,
[00:14:09] that a Sunni axis is going to be formed, which will include Saudi Arabia,
[00:14:12] Turkey, and Pakistan.
[00:14:16] So, for quite some time, for two years, we have been seeing
[00:14:20] such statements coming from Israel. Now, as far as this agreement
[00:14:24] is concerned,
[00:14:55] which should be debated in parliament, if you say that
[00:14:59] if one country is attacked, the other countries will also consider
[00:15:02] it an attack on themselves, then what is
[00:15:06] that triggering clause? If one country attacks another,
[00:15:10] then the other two countries or all three countries will be involved,
[00:15:13] or if non-state actors attack a country?
[00:15:16] This is a very important question, because at this time, Saudi
[00:15:19] Arabia, where this agreement was signed,
[00:15:23] has been under attack before.
[00:15:37] that we are ready to send our troops, or will it only be a defense
[00:15:41] or intelligence sharing? So, these are the questions that should have been debated
[00:15:45] in parliament before this agreement was signed.
[00:15:48] Anyway, it has been done now. I think the
[00:15:51] statement that has come from the Foreign Office of Pakistan
[00:15:55] gives an indication of what kind of agreement
[00:15:59] this will be. Two things have been mentioned in it:
[00:16:02] deterrence and defense cooperation, and I think
[00:16:06] the main
[00:17:07] that if one country is attacked, the other countries will also consider it an attack
[00:17:11] on themselves. I think I will take a little time just to explain that
[00:17:15] Article 5 of NATO is not an automatic
[00:17:18] triggering clause, that if one country is attacked, all others will join.
[00:17:24] that if a country is attacked, it is written that the
[00:17:27] other member states can decide for themselves,
[00:17:31] taking their parliament into confidence, looking at their constitution,
[00:17:34] to what extent they want to be involved.
[00:18:07] I would like to say that the security dynamics of these three countries
[00:18:11] are very different. NATO was formed against one country, against Russia,
[00:18:15] against the Soviet Union. Here, what is Turkey's
[00:18:18] security dynamic? What is the security threat? Kurds,
[00:18:22] Syria. What about Saudi Arabia? Iran,
[00:18:25] Israel, Houthis. What about Pakistan? India and
[00:18:29] terrorism from Afghanistan. So, can we really
[00:18:33] assume that if India attacks Pakistan tomorrow,
[00:19:39] Madam Sheikh, first of all, congratulations to Pakistan. This
[00:19:42] is good news, and we have discussed
[00:19:46] this many times. And it is true that we
[00:19:50] do not have any details available at the moment.
[00:19:53] And it is also true and very important that
[00:19:57] the threats to all three countries are completely different,
[00:20:00] as just mentioned, Turkey's Kurds and
[00:20:04] Syria, Saudi Arabia's Iran, Israel, Houthis
[00:20:08] or militias in Iraq, and Pakistan's
[00:20:11] India and Afghanistan. So, it will be known later
[00:20:15] what the course of action will be if any country
[00:20:18] gets involved in a conflict. But as I said,
[00:20:22] we have discussed this many times. And
[00:20:25] this agreement, or before this agreement, a defense agreement between Pakistan
[00:20:29] and Saudi Arabia has also been made. And then,
[00:20:32] an announcement has also been made by Saudi Arabia
[00:20:36] for a naval defense alliance to protect shipping and trade
[00:20:40] in Bab al-Mandab. In which Pakistan
[00:20:43] is also included, Turkey is also included. Bahrain, Bangladesh,
[00:20:47] Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Yemen, Djibouti,
[00:20:50] Somalia, and Sudan are included. Saudi Arabia is its head, and its
[00:20:53] headquarters will also be in Saudi Arabia. This alliance was formed
[00:20:57] by Saudi Arabia after the Houthi
[00:21:01] attacks. Now, there is a defense agreement between Pakistan,
[00:21:04] Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. Pakistan,
[00:21:07] an important player in the America-Iran mediation, Turkey,
[00:21:11] a country continuously striving to stop the Gaza genocide,
[00:21:14] and also a host for negotiations between Pakistan
[00:21:17] and the Taliban government.
[00:21:20] So, I felt that Qatar
[00:21:24] and Egypt would also be included in this, but perhaps they will be included in the next stage,
[00:21:28] because talks were going on in that direction, but this is very important
[00:21:31] that an attack on one country will be considered an attack on
[00:21:35] all three countries. Now, in India,
[00:21:39] I was watching their channels, and there was a lot of fuss,
[00:21:43] and many were saying, "Look, Saudi Arabia is an oil power, Turkey is a NATO
[00:21:46] ally, and Narendra Modi, what did you get?"
[00:21:57] Strengthening joint defense
[00:22:00] capabilities, there are still many details
[00:22:04] not in front of us.
[00:22:07] I and almost all of us agreed that when this war
[00:22:11] was going on, we agreed that old alliances would break
[00:22:14] and new alliances would form.
[00:22:16] And this is thanks to Trump and
[00:22:20] Netanyahu, who showed madness and imposed
[00:22:24] an unjustified war on Iran,
[00:22:28] and this is the result of Iran's historic resistance.
[00:22:31] Not only is the greater Israel agenda stalled,
[00:22:34] but the long-held desires have found
[00:22:38] space, and now new alliances are being formed
[00:22:42] in this direction. UAE's withdrawal from OPEC
[00:22:45] and leaning towards Israel and India, and these countries separating,
[00:22:49] this would not have happened if Iran had not stood
[00:22:53] firm, if it had not resisted.
[00:22:56] And after this, many more countries are going to join
[00:23:00] this. This is being said now. It is a wish,
[00:23:03] Madam Sheikh, finally, that we also have an economic
[00:23:07] agreement with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
[00:23:10] The agreement should state that everyone's economy is shared,
[00:23:14] a bad economy of one is everyone's joint responsibility.
[00:23:17] Okay, in Turkey, at this time,
[00:23:50] means they can still stream two shows at the same time, but for
[00:23:54] less, still gaming with mates, but for less, it's easy to switch to
[00:23:57] reliable full fiber broadband for less from
[00:24:00] Vodaphone. This is an urgent message from the
[00:24:04] United Nations World Food program. Mothers and children are

[00:24:18] families like this close to starvation. I've seen so
[00:24:22] many people, especially children, who've been left
[00:24:25] incredibly weak and painfully frail.

[00:24:33] danger. It's truly heartbreaking to
[00:24:35] see. Some are seriously

[00:28:31] Welcome back. The domestic political situation
[00:28:35] has not yet cooled down because many explanations are coming,
[00:28:38] but it seems that whether it is
[00:28:41] the alliance between the PPP and PML-N in the federation's allies
[00:28:45] or the other
[00:28:48] challenges that PML-N is currently facing, they remain.
[00:28:52] Listen to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's speech during his campaign in AJK.
[00:28:56] He says that the fight between PML-N and PPP is ongoing, but the real
[00:29:00] fight of PML-N is something else
[00:29:02] and it's not with PPP. The fight is elsewhere.
[00:29:06] He said that the real fight is between
[00:29:10] Islamabad and Lahore. This is their
[00:29:13] family's own problem. Along with this, he also said that
[00:29:17] the countdown for Islamabad has begun, the government
[00:29:20] is about to fall. He also talked a lot about the system and particularly
[00:29:24] said that there are many questions about the system that have been raised
[00:29:28] and those who say the system has gone bad. There are many questions
[00:29:32] about this statement as well. Anyway, what is the purpose of this statement by Bilawal
[00:29:36] Bhutto Zardari? What is it, especially, Shahad
[00:29:39] Bhatti, sir, when Bilawal Bhutto says that PML-N's fight is elsewhere,
[00:29:43] it's not a fight between PPP and PML-N? What does Bilawal sahib want to say?
[00:29:48] that PML-N has held the neck. He said that the time is not far
[00:29:52] when they will fall at my feet. That time is coming soon,
[00:29:56] he has also stated this. And Bilawal Bhutto sahib has also stated that the system
[00:30:00] is not failed, but it has been made to fail.
[00:30:19] And you, whose allies you are, you have called them a fake, charity,
[00:30:23] and fake government, with a fake mandate. So
[00:30:27] that is the sovereignty of the people, so then do it, start it. You are saying
[00:30:31] that this is a family dispute of PML-N, between Lahore
[00:30:34] and Islamabad. So, fine, if it's a family dispute, then let
[00:30:38] them fight. You continue your TikTok
[00:30:41] continue.
