NATO's reaction to threats: The Alliance is prepared to defend all allies following warnings about possible Iranian attacks in Europe.

A NATO official stated that the North Atlantic Alliance is prepared to address any threat and will do whatever is necessary to defend its allies, following information from the Financial Times about possible Iranian attacks on American military targets in Europe.

This statement came in response to speculation that Iran could target sites in southeastern Europe, such as Bulgaria and Cyprus, in the event of an escalation of the conflict by U.S. President Donald Trump. The NATO official emphasized the effectiveness of the Alliance's deterrence posture, mentioning the successful interception of Iranian ballistic missiles heading towards Turkey.

Additionally, sources within the Tehran regime indicated that Iranian forces have evaluated options for attacking underwater cables in the Strait of Hormuz, in the event of an escalation of the conflict.
