Trump’s Potential Attack on Iran Amid Global Tensions and Greek Implications

CIA Director Ratcliffe described the situation as ‘players ready for a sure goal,’ indicating that all is set for President Trump to decide on an attack against Iran. While several analysts linked recent meetings in the White House’s command center with potential U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict, Trump announced he would make a decision within two weeks. The risk of a global domino effect looms large, particularly involving Greece due to the Souda Bay base. Meanwhile, the Greek Ministry of Defense confirmed the movement of defensive systems (Patriot) to reinforce national security if American forces become targets of Iranian ballistic missiles. These movements remain outside public discourse. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis reassured the public but emphasized readiness for any scenario. Additionally, tensions arise from Libya over Greek hydrocarbon exploration south of Crete, which Libya claims violates its sovereign rights. Analysts suggest Turkey influences Libya’s reaction. In domestic news, rapid developments surround the OPEKEPE scandal, with allegations implicating former ministers. PASOK has pre-announced another preliminary investigation, possibly the third this year.
