The British Defense Secretary John Healey says Iran launched two missiles toward Cyprus. Healey confirmed thousands of British troops are stationed in Cyprus, which also hosts significant IOF reserve bases, air defense, and intelligence infrastructure.

■ Cyprus has played a key logistical and military role for the IOF, US, and UK in carrying out the Gaza genocide.

■ Hezbollah's martyred leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned Cyprus in 2024, “[Israel believes] that if their own airports are targeted, they will use Cypriot airports and facilities. Therefore, the Cypriot government must understand that opening Cypriot airports and bases for war against Lebanon will make Cyprus an enemy of the war.”

■ Now, Iran is striking back at Cyprus for their role in carrying out Western aggression against the region.

I will add that AryJeay & EyesOnSouth1 are a lot more reliable than some of the other random accounts out there I'm not posting any sources I haven't got a read on prior to this year. (They're not doomers but they kind of Prigozhin post at times if you catch my drift)
