Invited this afternoon to "Albania Live" with Sidorela Gjon, former naval commander Artur Muçollari focused on the war in Iran.
According to him, Albania does not endanger our country, neither technically nor from geopolitical interests.
"First of all, that scheme is not realistic, the maximum range of an Iranian missile is 2500 km, there are two or three ballistic missiles that have this range. The distance from the Iran-Iraq border to Albania is 2500 km, so without the destruction of Iran's missile base, we were at the limit of the distance, which means we had to push them. We were at the limit. But this scheme is unrealistic.
The section from the Iraqi border to Tehran has been cleared of launch bases for four days, which means the distance has gone 3 kilometers, which means we are out of range.
Let's take the case that if we were within range, the missiles would pass through Turkish and Greek airspace before reaching Albania.
"A NATO member country would be attacked, which automatically activates Article 5, automatically makes NATO an enemy, and brings it into war. So technically it is not possible, but strategically it is not in Iran's interest to do such a thing," he said. /TCH/
