A NATO official told Reuters that the alliance is prepared to respond to any threat and will “always do what is necessary to defend all allies”. The comments came in response to questions about a Financial Times report that Iran had allegedly considered attacking US military targets in Europe if US President Donald Trump escalated the war. “As demonstrated earlier this year when NATO air defences successfully intercepted ballistic missiles heading to Turkiye from Iran on four separate occasions, our deterrence and defence posture is strong and effective,” the official told Reuters.
