Mitsotakis Convenes Security Council Amid Iran, Libya Tensions

09:30 2/7/2025 - Πηγή: iEfimerida

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will convene the Government Council for National Security on Wednesday, a regular meeting that takes on heightened significance amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and a new migration crisis unfolding south of Crete.

The session,

scheduled for noon at the Maximos Mansion, will bring together the country’s top foreign policy and defense officials to assess a series of pressing security challenges.

The meeting comes in the wake of a direct military exchange between the United States and Iran, which has put the wider region on edge. It also follows Greece’s recent deployment of naval vessels to international waters off Libya to counter a sharp increase in migrant smuggling operations targeting the island of Crete.

These developments, combined with ongoing friction with Turkey over maritime rights in the Eastern Mediterranean, have created a complex and volatile security environment for Athens.

Later on Wednesday, Mr. Mitsotakis is scheduled to shift his focus to the economy, participating in a public discussion with the renowned economist Daron Acemoglu at the annual Economist Roundtable.
