NATO air defense systems have intercepted two Iranian ballistic missiles over Turkish airspace in the span of five days — on March 4 and March 9, 2026 — marking the first time a NATO member's territory has been directly targeted by Iran since the broader US-Israel war on Iran began February 28. The incidents have thrust Turkey into a precarious balancing act between its NATO obligations and its longstanding efforts to maintain a working relationship with Tehran, while raising questions about whether the widening conflict could trigger the alliance's collective defense clause.
