Update on Monitoring U.S. Military Infrastructures in Greece
March 8, 2026
The 'Desert Scorpion' plan has been activated across all U.S. military bases in Greece due to escalating tensions in the Middle East. Members of Greece's intelligence agency are using various roles, such as tourists and waiters, to monitor strategic infrastructures. Arrests have been made of individuals attempting espionage in Crete and Evros, and surveillance has intensified since the start of the war in Iran. The naval bases in Souda and Alexandroupolis are central to the operation. Suspicious foreign guests in tourist accommodations are also being investigated.
