Why Greece is betting on Israel's Achilles Shield Share Why Greece is betting on Israel's Achilles Shield on social media On Monday, Greece and Israel signed a $3.5bn defence deal to build an integrated, multilayered defence network to protect Greek territory dubbed the Achilles Shield.

What is Iran's Pickaxe Mountain? Vance says Trump'sending a message' to Iran with AI-generated video Share Vance says Trump'sending a message' to Iran with AI-generated video on social media An AI-generated video depicting missiles raining down on a key Iranian island to destroy what appears to be oil-processing infrastructure is meant as a warning to Iran, United States Vice President JD Vance says. President Donald Trump posted the video on his Truth Social account on Sunday night and on Monday followed up with a post saying Iran was "dead" and a "failed nation". "We know that they continue to shoot at commercial shipping. We continue to have a lot of tools at our disposal to prevent them from doing so or at least cut down on them from doing so, and that's what the president is saying," Vance told reporters at an Air Force base in Maryland.

Share Why has Greece signed a $3.5bn missile deal with Israel? on social media Greece has inked a weapons deal with Israel that will see a $3.5bn multi-layered air defence system delivered to Athens in what is the largest defence agreement ever between the two countries. The agreement, signed on Monday in Tel Aviv, comes as Greece's relations with its neighbour and rival, Turkiye, have grown more sour. It also, however, breaks with a broader European wariness of being seen as too close to Israel, following the genocidal war on Gaza and Israel's increasingly blatant efforts to annex the occupied West Bank.
