Turkey asked NATO for the Patriot system, designed to intercept aircraft or missiles, in November to help bolster its border security after repeated episodes of gunfire from war-torn Syria spilling into Turkish territory.
General Hassan Firouzabadi, the Iranian armed forces chief, said Iranwanted its neighbor Turkey to feel secure but called for NATO not to deploy the Patriots in its easternmost member state, which also bordersIran.”
