Greece has placed 50 potential targets on heightened alert and deployed warships and fighter jets to defend neighbouring Cyprus as the Iran conflict threatens to draw the eastern Mediterranean into a widening war.
The Hellenic Police, working with the country's security service, identified the targets as part of a contingency plan against possible attacks by 'lone wolves' or domestic terrorist cells linked to the Middle East conflict. They include 10 diplomatic missions in Athens and dozens of businesses tied to Israeli and American interests across Crete, Rhodes and the Cyclades island group, the Daily Star reported.
