Tensions in the eastern Mediterranean have intensified after a ballistic missile fired from Iran entered Turkish airspace and was intercepted by NATO missile defence systems. Turkish authorities say the weapon was neutralised before causing damage, with fragments falling in open land near Gaziantep. It marks the second such interception in five days, prompting Ankara to warn Tehran against further launches toward its territory. Meanwhile, Turkey has deployed six F-16 fighter jets and air defence systems to northern Cyprus to strengthen regional security. The developments come amid a wider Middle East conflict and the leadership transition in Iran following the rise of Mojtaba Khamenei as Supreme Leader. Watch
