Middle East Spectator — MES

I have nothing against Iran joining the Mecca Pact, in fact I welcome any initiative that brings Muslims closer together and creates a new geopolitical reality that could challenge Israeli hegemony in the Middle East. Coming together as Muslims is a divine commandment and it is the only thing that makes us strong in the long-term. However, this comes with important caveats; what is the true nature of this alliance, what guarantees will be given, and does it actually benefit Iran or is it just a name on paper? Important matters, like the war between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, need to be solved before any such alliance can happen.
