Iran launched a new round of saber-rattling last week by declaring it will retaliate against Greece if Athens allows the US to use military bases against Tehran.

The Greek daily Kathimerini reported on Monday that the Islamic Republic said the use of US military bases in Greece would be considered a “hostile act” and the clerical regime would respond “in a clear and decisive manner.”

I think the Greeks will take this threat seriously after what they saw happened to US bases in Iraq.
I think Iranian IRBMs just have enough range to hit Greece.

Pal, Melli bank in Athens is the only one that is used to get their funds for any oil shipments; if that bank gets shutdown; then more issues for you.

This reaction was pretty much expected from Iran, given what the Greek PM publicly said on his visit last week to the US.

more then enough, the range on Iran BMs goes behind 2000 KM, the problem is not the range it's the accuracy in this range, Greece is not a danger for Iran to be worried of an Greece retaliation especially now that they just donated there air defense systems to Saudi Arabia.

Byzantine vs Sassanid... The Remastered version?

@Dante80
Aside from it... What are Greek "Points/Assets" that Iran would be interested in for a potential "Action"?

I'd assume an intuitive answer would have to include the joint HN - NSA Souda Bay base in Crete. https://militarybases.com/overseas/greece/souda-bay/

Hmm...isn't this Iranian missile scenario something the US has been talking about for the last 10 or so years...to deaf ears.

Turkey are bound by treaty to defend Greece in case of an attack by Iran.
Incirlik will become quite busy.

It has started sounding more like the ww3 conflict of nations game..
