NATO defences intercepted an Iranian ballistic missile over Syria that was heading towards a Turkish military base hosting American forces and approximately 50 nuclear warheads. The incident has raised concerns about the potential activation of NATO's Article 5, which states that an attack on one member nation is considered an attack on all 32 alliance members. The US destroyer in the eastern Mediterranean successfully shot down the missile before it could reach Turkish airspace, while Britain's HMS Dragon deployment to defend RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus has been delayed until next week.
