Global Tensions Rise as Greece Monitors Iran’s Asymmetric Threats

The Greek government remains on high alert following Israel’s intense attack against Iran last Friday. This event has triggered global unrest, with all Israeli interests being placed under heightened security measures. Although Iran is weakened due to its support for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Assad, concerns persist about potential smaller-scale but globally significant retaliatory strikes. High-ranking governmental sources emphasize the risk of asymmetric threats, leading to increased surveillance by European intelligence agencies, including Greece’s EYP. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis called for restraint and diplomacy in his Sunday message, underscoring the dangers of further escalation. Meanwhile, Development Minister Takis Theodorikakos warned fuel speculators amid rising oil prices, while SYRIZA’s internal tensions continue over Alexis Tsipras’ future political moves. Additionally, Novak Djokovic’s rumored move to Greece highlights ongoing discussions around golden visas and business investments.
