Iran threatens retaliation against Greece for US use of military bases
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis supported the killing of Qasem Soleimani

The Islamic Republic of Iran launched a new round of saber-rattling by declaring last week that it will retaliate against Greece if Athens allows the US to use military bases against Tehran.
The Greek paper Kathimerini reported on Monday that Iran’s regime said the use of US military bases in Greece would be considered a “hostile act†and the clerical regime would respond “in a clear and decisive manner.â€
The paper wrote that “The warning came in a letter sent by the Iranian embassy in Athens to Kathimerini, which was published on January 10 in the column Readers’ Letters. It was commenting on an article published in the newspaper on January 6, which stated that ‘Greece will have some involvement’ in case of a US operation against Iran, ‘though not with a warship… due to the extremely fragile balance’ in the Eastern Mediterranean.â€

Then, lastly, I dismissed reading about this earlier because the time stamps are off I heard but the NY Times declares it "authentic", video of the two missiles that hit the jet. Well, there's a bit of an overlap with this and the "Ukrainian Jet" story, probably best to soon let one or both go in the regular forum.
Okay, I'm having a slow net feed but this last story is out there much. I just saw still frames, not the whole video.
Israel is probably bombing some Iranian interests as well, bombing drones so they can not be used against Israel by their foes...
