Dendias Calls Emergency Defence Meeting Amid Israel-Iran Tensions

Greek Defence Minister Nikos Dendias convened an urgent session of the Council of Chiefs of General Staff (SAGE) today to assess potential threats to national security following escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.

The high-level meeting was called to evaluate Greece’s air defence readiness and bolster its anti-ballistic missile capabilities in response to the rapidly evolving conflict in the Middle East. Officials reportedly discussed contingency plans to enhance the country’s defensive posture amid heightened regional instability.

According to public broadcaster ERT, the discussions centred on strengthening Greece’s air defence systems, with the armed forces remaining on high alert. The government has been closely monitoring the situation as fears grow over a wider regional confrontation.

No further details were immediately released, but sources indicate that additional security measures may be implemented in the coming days. The meeting underscores Greece’s proactive stance in safeguarding its airspace amid rising geopolitical tensions.
