Overview
- Douglas Macgregor, a Pentagon advisor, posted on X that Greece is preparing for an Iranian attack, hours after Tuesday’s U.S. warning to travelers.
- The State Department’s Consular Affairs office said it is tracking threats in Saudi Arabia to places where Americans gather, warning that hotels and other gathering points could be targets.
- An attack on Greece would move the conflict into Europe and could trigger NATO’s Article 5, which treats an attack on one member as an attack on all.
- The latest alarms follow strikes that began on February 28, when U.S. and Israeli forces hit Iran and Tehran responded across the region, including a reported attack on a UK base in Cyprus.
- UK outlets tied Macgregor’s claim to rising concern for Mediterranean tourists, noting the U.S. Worldwide Caution that urges Americans to take extra care when traveling.
