NATO’s top commander in Europe is “closely” following developments in Iran and the Middle East and adjusting forces as needed to defend against “potential threats,” the alliance says.
The commander, US General Alexus Grynkewich, “has and will continue to adjust NATO’s very strong force posture to ensure the security of its 32 member nations and to defend the Alliance from potential threats,” says a NATO statement posted on X.
It cites in particular the threat of “ballistic missiles or unmanned aerial vehicles, emanating from this or other regions.”
