"Paris and London remain wary of an operation they fear could draw Europe into the conflict, but have ordered the mobilization of fighter jets, frigates, and anti-aircraft systems to protect the interests of their allies, both European and Arab."
"The war has also touched NATO territory: Turkey reported on Wednesday that systems of the Atlantic Alliance installed on its soil shot down a missile, raising fears that the chaos could spread further, with unpredictable consequences."
"The Iranian regime has warned that it will attack cities in any European country that joins the military operation led by U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."
France and the United Kingdom have mobilized military assets including fighter jets, frigates, and anti-aircraft systems to the Middle East despite concerns about European involvement in the escalating conflict. The Netherlands considers troop deployment while Greece positions anti-missile batteries and warships near Cyprus. NATO territory has been affected, with Turkey reporting that alliance systems intercepted a missile. The EU's High Representative convened a Joint Council with Gulf Cooperation Council countries to pursue de-escalation and regional security. Iran has threatened to attack European cities if they participate in military operations, though European nations characterize their deployments as defensive measures unrelated to U.S. and Israeli actions.
