Iran Dismisses Pact as "Paper Agreement," Calls for Muslim Unity

| Mecca Pact

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi calls on Muslim states to "rely only on ourselves and embrace true brotherhood" without directly criticizing the pact. Majlis National Security Commission member Ebrahim Rezaei is more pointed, dismissing it as a "paper agreement" that "would bring the Saudis no security," while the Foreign Ministry spokesperson says there is "no reason to worry" given Iran's own ties to all three signatories.
