NATO Missile Defense System on Full Alert as Iran Launches Unprecedented Regional Strikes

A senior NATO military official confirmed Saturday that the alliance activated round-the-clock vigilance to ensure the security of its 32 member nations following Iran's mass missile and drone launches. NATO's missile defense suite, including systems in Poland and the early-warning radar in Kurecik, Turkey, was placed on full alert. Security experts warned that Iran may activate sleeper cells in Europe and North America, with Hezbollah and other assets potentially conducting attacks in Western countries.
