NATO successfully intercepted an Iranian ballistic missile over Turkey on Monday, marking the fourth such interception in under a month, according to Turkey’s Defense Ministry. The missile, launched from Iran, violated Turkish airspace before being neutralized by NATO’s air and missile defense systems stationed in the Eastern Mediterranean. Turkey’s Defense Ministry confirmed the incident but did not disclose the exact interception location, citing operational security. NATO’s Patriot missile systems, deployed in Gaziantep and other strategic bases, played a key role in countering the repeated threats from Iranian projectiles. The escalation follows rising regional tensions, with NATO reinforcing defenses amid Iran’s increasingly aggressive missile tests targeting neighboring nations.
