Germany's Pistorius: NATO protects Europe from Iranian missiles
27.03.2026
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius on Friday dismissed fears about the range of Iranian missiles, which could theoretically reach European targets, saying the continent was safe due to the NATO defence alliance. Europe is "safe, especially as Germany is not defending itself alone within air defence but in the context of the NATO air defence forces," Pistorius said during a visit to an Australian barracks near the east-coast metropolis of Brisbane.
