A NATO member that signed no declaration of war against Iran used a Patriot battery operated by Greek soldiers on Saudi soil to intercept missiles targeting the SAMREF oil refinery in Yanbu on the Red Sea coast. Greek Defense Minister Dendias confirmed the engagement.

A European democracy that borders Turkey just entered the Middle East’s largest war to protect a refinery jointly owned by Saudi Aramco and ExxonMobil.

Greece did not wait for the statement to tell it what to do. It had a battery, a mandate, and a missile inbound. It fired.

The refinery is still standing. The precedent is now set.
