Cyprus under threat of Iranian missiles, Macron coordinates military deployment

French President Emmanuel Macron spoke with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Greek leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis to coordinate the military capabilities they are sending to Cyprus.

The three leaders also agreed to "work together to guarantee freedom of navigation in the Red Sea," the source also said.

France, Italy and Greece all participate in Operation Aspides, which aims to secure passage for merchant ships in the Red Sea, with the former two also taking part in Operation Atalanta against piracy in the Horn of Africa.
