Pavlos Marinakis, the spokesperson for the Greek government, firmly denied any allegations linking Greece to activities in Iran, emphasizing that "there is no such issue" and urging the public not to adopt or 'buy into' such narratives. His statements come amid a period of heightened scrutiny and interest in Greece's geopolitical stance. Marinakis also referenced a recent meeting between Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis and U.S. counterpart Marco Rubio, describing the development as one that should not provoke concern but rather represents a deepening relationship with the United States.

The spokesperson highlighted that Greece is currently at a strong geopolitical position, arguably stronger than ever, which is relevant given the ongoing tensions in various regions and the intricate dynamics involving the United States and Iran. He assured that the discussions with U.S. officials reflect a strategy to bolster Greece’s position internationally, particularly within the context of its relationships with powerful allies. This claim underscores Greece's growing significance on the global stage as it navigates complex international relations.

Additionally, Marinakis touched upon the findings of the parliamentary committee investigating OPKEPE, noting that this process has featured considerable activity compared to previous inquiries, with many witnesses and sessions contributing to a comprehensive examination. However, he pointed out that the results depicted a troubling picture, highlighting serious deficiencies that have emerged within the organization, raising concerns over governance and oversight.
