Iranian Drone Strike on UK Akrotiri Air Base in Cyprus Sparks Calls to End British Military Presence

An Iranian drone, believed to have been fired by Hezbollah, struck Britain's RAF Akrotiri sovereign base in Cyprus earlier this week, causing limited damage and no casualties but prompting evacuations and heightened alert. The strike reignited political debate over the British bases on the island, with Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides refusing to rule out a review of arrangements and saying there was nothing he could rule out, while Britain insisted Cyprus was not involved in U.S.-Israeli operations against Iran.
