However, all plans were activated in case the situation worsened, including evacuation plans. He stated this in response to a journalist’s question during a press conference at the Ministry of Defense on Tuesday Chief of the General Staff of the Slovak Armed Forces Daniel Zmeko with Defense Minister Robert Kaliňák (Smer-SD).
- The security situation in the Middle East does not affect the operational tasks of Slovak soldiers.
- The Slovak Armed Forces have activated all crisis and evacuation operational plans.
- The intercepted drone heading to Cyprus was targeting British military installations.
- Iran’s political leadership declares an effort to change its approach to foreign attacks.
- Iran’s operational capacity to carry out attacks is gradually decreasing according to available information.
Drone attack intercepted heading for Cyprus according to him, “it was not led to any facilities and organizations of the United Nations, it was led to military facilities from the United Kingdom”.
According to the minister, it is not entirely clear who is currently in charge in Iran. He added that the country’s political leadership has declared that it wants to change its approach to attacking other states. “On the other hand, it is not entirely clear whether the political command is in command there today, or whether the Iranian Revolutionary Guards do not have their own initiative and are proceeding absolutely independently,” he thinks. However, he added that Iran’s capacity to attack is decreasing.
