Europe's Air Defense 'Limited' for Gulf Amid Iran Drone Threat, Says Kallas

• EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stated Europe's limited capabilities in providing air defense equipment to Gulf nations against Iranian drone attacks.
• Kallas suggested Ukraine, with its expertise against Iranian-designed Shahed drones, could share knowledge; Zelenskyy offered missile swaps for interceptors.
• Italy, Spain, France, and the Netherlands are deploying naval assets to protect Cyprus; Italy also sending air defense assistance to Gulf countries.
• UK is sending helicopters with counter-drone capabilities and HMS Dragon to Cyprus after a British base was targeted by an Iranian-made drone.
• The conflict escalated with US-Israeli strikes on Iran, an American submarine sinking an Iranian warship, and Iran threatening regional infrastructure; Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the strikes.
