Greece's Defense Ministry leadership is expected to raise the future of the Greek Patriot missile battery stationed in Saudi Arabia at the next Government Council for National Security (KYSEA) meeting, according to sources, with officials likely to recommend either its return to Greece or a limited extension without further long-term deployment.

Reports on reports that the Air Force is transferring Patriot systems to the base of Souda, in Crete, to shield potential US targets in the region, were denied by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in a radio interview with Thessaloniki’s Status FM radio station on Thursday morning.
