DUBAI, Aug 10 (Reuters) – Iran sees no reason to be concerned ​that a new ‌security pact between Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia is directed against Tehran, Foreign ‌Ministry ​spokesman Esmaeil ⁠Baghaei said on ⁠Monday.

Baghaei said the pact showed a shift in regional countries’ approach ​to security, with greater reliance on ⁠their own capabilities ⁠rather than outside ​powers.

“Any plan that is ​based on the geopolitical ‌and historical realities of the region, is comprehensive and inclusive, and ⁠correctly identifies the enemy and the threat, has a chance ⁠of ‌helping to ⁠strengthen security and prevent ​instability ‌and abuses by ​the ⁠Zionist enemy and its allies,” he added, referring to Israel.
