This was the Turks’ thanks for the US permission to strike the Syrian Kurds – The US and Israel use Syrian airspace.

The Turkish presidency announced that Turkey will NOT allow the use of its airspace for attacks on Iran.

“Turkey does not allow the use of its airspace for operational purposes in any conflict or war in which it is not participating,” it is noted.

The Turks did the same in the US war against Iraq twice, and they are doing the same now, leaving their American allies hanging.

For him, the only thing the Turks are interested in is control of Syria, which the US Ambassador to that country allowed them to take at the expense of the Kurds.

Turkey’s big thank you to the US was to cancel the Incirlik base and any action by US aircraft against Iran.

Operation “Shield” naval forces are on heightened alert after threats from the Houthis

The European naval forces of Operation “Shield” are on heightened alert in the Red Sea, after threats from the Houthis to attack ships of American and Israeli interests.

The EU mission, which aims to protect commercial shipping in one of the world’s most critical maritime trade routes, called on the shipping industry to remain vigilant, stressing that the possibility of attacks cannot be ruled out.

According to the briefing, European ships operating in the region are ready to contribute to the protection of seafarers and ensuring freedom of navigation.

It should be noted that ships of the Greek Navy, such as the Hydra frigate, are also participating in the operation.

According to a state-run Armenian news agency, Iran launched missiles against the US Navy’s nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, and the Telegram channel “Military Observer” was cited for this news.

According to the same source, explosions were also heard in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, and in Amman, the capital of Jordan.

We are not able to know what happened and to confirm, but it is most likely that the missile systems of the aircraft carrier and the warships of its battle group shot down the Iranian missiles.

The military conflict in Iran, especially with the involvement of the US and Israel, creates a complex network of military and geopolitical risks for Greece.

For this reason, the Souda base is on high alert, with the anti-aircraft defense having been strengthened with the deployment of Patriot systems, while anti-aircraft assets have been made available by the United States to address possible threats from missiles and unmanned aircraft.

There is information in the Greek press that an “image” in the leadership of the Greek Armed Forces comes from HYDRA operating in the Red Sea within the framework of the European operation SHIELD, as well as information gathered by the Greek force of the Patriot battery deployed in Saudi Arabia, as well as military attachés serving in key countries in the wider region.

A generalized conflict could destabilize the entire region, affecting Greek national interests.
