Yet Turkey is STILL shuttling Israel almost half its oil imports, and poorly attempting to conceal it, as it has since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza.

Turkish President Erdogan on his Eid al-Fitr message: The Middle East is boiling right now, and as is known, Zionist Israel has killed hundreds of thousands of people. God willing, it will pay the price for this. I have no doubt about that.

Infographic on Greece's expanding regional military footprint (which does not explicitly include Lebanon, but I'll explain): Saudi Arabia - Greece has maintained a Patriot PAC-3 air defense battery in Yanbu since 2021, which today successfully intercepted two Iranian ballistic missiles targeting nearby critical oil infrastructure. Operation Aspides - A Greece-led European Union naval mission since 2024 to protect commercial shipping in the Red Sea and surrounding waters from Houthi attacks. The mission's name is derived from the Ancient Greek word for "shields." Greek-made Centaurus anti-drone systems have successfully soft-killed Houthi drones. Lebanon - Through the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), Greece has one frigate off the coast of Lebanon and helps train the Lebanese Navy to assume full responsibility for maritime security eventually. Since 2025, Lebanese Armed Forces officers have been undergoing 4-year training at Greek military schools. Greece also donated M-113 Armored Personnel Carriers, Steyr 680M General Utility Vehicles, and spare parts to the Lebanese army earlier this year. Cyprus - With already 1,000 soldiers and an undisclosed amount of special forces, Greece boosted its presence on the island earlier this month by deploying four F-16 Viper fighter jets and two frigates. Operation Irini - It is a European Union military operation launched in 2020 to enforce the United Nations arms embargo on Libya. "Irini" is the Greek word for "peace." Greece and Italy rotate as leaders of the operation every six months. West Balkans NATO Air Policing - The Greek air force safeguards the airspace of Albania, Montenegro, and North Macedonia, which do not have fighter jets. Bulgaria - Greece protects Bulgaria through a specialized air and missile defense shield, which was initiated this month at the request of the Bulgarian government. Greek PATRIOT missiles and F-16 fighter jets protect Bulgarian airspace.

🇬🇷🇸🇦🇮🇷 BREAKING: The Greek PATRIOT missile defense system stationed in Saudi Arabia successfully intercepted two barrages of Iranian ballistic missiles aimed at the SAMREF refinery, a joint venture between Saudi Arabia's Aramco and US-based Exxon Mobil. Fragments of the missile interception have fallen on facilities of the SAMREF refinery, causing minor damage. The Greek PATRIOT system is located near the SAMREF refinery, in the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea, and was deployed originally to protect the region from Houthi attacks. The Iranian attack follows similar attacks on energy facilities in Qatar and the UAE, in response to US-Israeli attacks on Iranian energy facilities. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has issued an evacuation warning for several oil facilities across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, including SAMREF. However, with Greek military personnel fully alert, the Saudi's have nothing to worry about regarding SAMREF.

@nimeliann @grok, compare the GDP per capita of Greece compared to Istanbul, Izmir, Bursa, Aydın, Denizli, Manisa, and Muğla, as well as inflation, unemployment rate as of January 2026, and minimum salaries.

What if Mycenae wasn’t « Greek » in origin? French archeologist Pierre Cabanes argued its founders came from central and southern Albania (~1700 BCE). He also saw the Epirotes as non-Greek, with distinct social and legal structures, closer to Illyrians. #nomorelies

🚨 Something interesting just happened over the Eastern Med… A 🇬🇷 Greek Air Force C-27J Spartan flew into Adana 🇹🇷… and then back. 🇬🇷🛡️🇨🇾🇸🇦🇧🇬🇹🇷 Right as NATO is reinforcing the area with Patriot systems due to rising missile threats. Coincidence? 🤔 Because let’s connect the dots: • Greece already operates Patriot systems abroad (even intercepting missiles in Saudi Arabia) • It’s actively deploying/relocating air defense assets across the region • And tensions across the Eastern Med are at a peak So the question is… 👉 Is Greece quietly supporting NATO air defense in Turkey? 👉 Or even moving Patriot capability via airlift? Imagine that for a second: 🇬🇷 Greece — historically at odds with 🇹🇷 — now potentially helping shield the region from incoming threats. That’s not just geopolitics. That’s a shift. Because right now, one thing is clear: ⚡ Greece is no longer just defending itself ⚡ It’s acting as a regional security player From Cyprus… to Bulgaria… to the Middle East… And maybe now — even Turkey. Let that sink in. 👀 What do you think this flight really means?

With less Qatari LNG on the market, the “Great Satan” will fill the gap. Iran helped knock out an energy rival of the USA. Washington is thankful for this. After the war, repairing ties with the Arabs will be extremely difficult for Tehran. Another short-sighted move by Iran.

BIG: Iran’s attack has knocked out 17% of Qatar’s LNG capacity, with repairs taking 3–5 years. QatarEnergy CEO: I never in my wildest ‌dreams ⁠would have thought that Qatar would be - Qatar and the region - in ​such ​an ⁠attack, especially from a brotherly Muslim ​country in the month ​of ⁠Ramadan, attacking us in this way.

Greek Minister of National Defense Nikos Dendias announced today that a Greek Patriot air defense battery in Saudi Arabia shot down two Iranian ballistic missiles that were targeting oil refineries in the country. Greece has had a presence in the Gulf nation since 2021 as a part of a bilateral defense pact, the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), between Saudi Arabia and Greece. According to a Reuters, citing a Greek MOND official, this is the first time that Greek military personnel have operated the system.
