NATO said ballistic missiles launched toward Türkiye had been successfully intercepted four times by air defense systems in a statement on threats originating from Iran.
The alliance said its deterrence and defense capabilities were strong and effective, and announced that it would take the necessary steps to protect all its allies.

NATO issued the written statement after Financial Times reported that Iran was considering options for attacking U.S. military facilities in Europe if tensions escalated again.
The statement emphasized that NATO was ready to counter any threat and would do whatever was necessary to protect all its allies.
