Turkey summons Iranian envoy over missile fire near airspace

Regional outlets in Europe and neighbouring areas stress that Iran’s missiles now worry not only Middle Eastern states but also NATO members further west. They point to the Netherlands summoning Iran’s envoy and NATO’s higher missile defence readiness as signs that European governments see a shared security problem. These reports suggest that if Iran keeps launching missiles near NATO territory, more European states may join diplomatic or military measures against Tehran.
