Iran said on Monday it does not see the new defence pact between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan as a threat. Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei called the deal "a sign of a change in the perception" of regional countries towards the United States, adding that security cannot be bought from "false brokers". Baqaei cited "deep religious, historical and civilisational ties" with the three nations as reason not to worry. The pact, signed last week during a five-month war between the US and Iran, says an attack on any member is an attack on all. Analysts say it aims to deter an emboldened Iran and compensate for an unreliable US security role.
