“It’s not a matter of engagement, it’s a defensive action,” government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis said, commenting on the shooting down of Iranian ballistic missiles by Greek Patriot missiles.
“It is not a matter of engagement, it is a defensive action. It is a deterrent action.” As Nikos Dendias said, in this way the Greek array proves how powerful it is and what experience it has gained all this time, but also indirectly but clearly protects the standard of living of Greek and European citizens. “It is a defensive action,” Marinakis said in response to a question on whether the shoot-down is a de facto involvement of our country in the war.

The two Greek Patriot missiles were launched after a threat alert was triggered. Defense Minister Nikos Dendias said the Iranian missiles were headed for refineries in Saudi Arabia.
