How endangered is Albania by Iran? Foreign media outraged by the US
The US Embassy sounds the alarm

The security alert of the United States Embassy in Tirana has received widespread coverage in international media, which have paid attention not only to the warning, but especially to the reaction of Albanian institutions and the measures taken on the ground.

IntelliNews reports that Albania has placed its security structures on heightened alert following the US embassy's warning, stressing that Albanian authorities have increased their level of vigilance and are monitoring the situation in coordination with international partners. According to this media outlet, the country's security institutions are fully engaged, while the heightened measures are not only related to this alert, but also to broader international developments, especially tensions in the Middle East.

In its reporting, IntelliNews also focuses on the statements of the Minister of Interior Besfort Lamallari, who emphasizes that the police, anti-terror and security structures are in constant communication with the embassies and are implementing a detailed action plan. He underlines that there is no concrete information about a real or immediate threat, but adds that the increased measures are part of an ongoing security protocol.

On the other hand, Euronews pays special attention to the reaction at the institutional level, reporting that President Bajram Begaj is in constant contact with the National Security Council and is receiving updated information on every development. According to this media outlet, the Presidency has emphasized that the head of state is informed of every possible scenario and of all measures taken within the framework of security protocols.

Euronews also highlights that Albania's coordination with international partners remains at "extremely high" levels, presenting the situation as an organized institutional response to a sensitive security context.

At the same time, international media also link the development to the broader geopolitical context. IntelliNews emphasizes that Albania is among the countries most positioned to support the United States in relation to Iran, also mentioning Prime Minister Edi Rama's statements on the classification of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization.

The reports also mention the presence in Albania of around 3,000 members of the Iranian opposition MEK, a factor that has strained relations with Tehran over the years. The media recall that in the past, Albanian authorities have expelled Iranian diplomats for security reasons, making the country a sensitive point in relation to suspected Iranian activities.

In conclusion, both IntelliNews and Euronews present the situation in Albania as one with increased security measures and a coordinated institutional response, where authorities are on alert and in constant communication with partners, but without a concrete threat confirmed up to this stage.
