#Breaking Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a statement to the House of Commons ‘It is important for me to say that our bases in Cyprus are not being used by US bombers. The security of our friends and partners in Cyprus is of critical importance. And I want to be clear, the strike on Akrotiri in Cyprus was not in response to any decision we’ve taken. In our assessment the drone was launched prior to our announcement.’

Starmer speaking at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus: "Quite a bit of what goes on here can't necessarily be talked about all of the time... we can't necessarily tell the world what you're doing" RAF Akrotiri is the base from which the RAF flies missions to assist Israel in its genocide.

CYPRUS MAY BE SMALL BUT NOT EVEN “MIGHTY” TURKEY CAN STOP IT🚨 Well done to the Republic of Cyprus and its dynamic Foreign Minister, Constantinos Kombos. Under President Christodoulides’ government, our beautiful and peaceful island is now being recognised and embraced in all four corners of the globe. Turkey counted on fellow Turkic states to prop up its illegal occupation in Cyprus, hoping they would recognise the so-called “TRNC”, open direct flights to the illegal Ercan airport and even establish embassies there but it completely backfired. Just last week, the inaugural direct flight from Almaty, Kazakhstan to Larnaca touched down, a powerful symbol of legitimacy and friendship. At the same time, the Republic of Cyprus inaugurated its new embassy in Almaty, while Kazakhstan opened its embassy in Nicosia. Illegality finds no acceptance, not even among the countries Turkey relied upon most. Special thanks to Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos for his tireless diplomatic efforts that continue to promote Cyprus as a peaceful, reliable and forward-looking nation. Our island’s voice is growing stronger on the world stage. Cyprus prevails through diplomacy, law and genuine partnerships.

“Our Cyprus base is not being used in those US operations.” Except, I’m not convinced this is true. I challenged the Foreign Secretary regarding the use of RAF Akrotiri with regards to Operation Epic Fury and the war in Iran. She previously stated the attack drone which struck RAF Akrotiri had hit the runway. It didn’t. The MOD have since confirmed to me that the drone struck a hangar. That hangar has been reported as being in use by the USAF to protect their U2 spyplanes. The U2’s have been flying out of RAF Akrotiri since before I was born. Operation Olive Harvest sees Detachment 1 of the 9th Operations Group fly ISR missions over the Middle-East. Fair enough. I asked Yvette Cooper to confirm that they weren’t being used to support current US operations in Iran. She wouldn’t, or couldn’t. Are we really to expect that an asset like the U2, tasked with intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance over a region which the US is currently engaged in a highly kinetic military operation isn’t being used to support it? I have no issues with its use. My issue is with regards to whether the Government is lying about it and has been for weeks.

Here comes the warning against UK. Any attack by a B-52 bomber or any other bomber flying from a UK base on Tehran would make the 2 British bases in Cyprus legitimate targets for Iran. As Iranian missiles cannot reach London, they can take out important defence assets in Cyprus (1300 km to 1500 km from Iran). UK has two bases on the island of Cyprus: Akrotiri & Dhekelia. - Akrotiri is a full fledged airbase. - Dhekelia is a signal intelligence gathering hub of UK in Mediterranean Sea. It has highly sophisticated radar communication systems that can gather intelligence from long ranges, even Russia.

PM Modi to Visit Cyprus in Warning to Turkey's Erdogan As part of India’s deepening engagement with Europe, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Cyprus on his way to Canada for the G7 Summit, and Croatia on his return. Visit comes amid strained Turkey ties PM Modi’s visit to Cyprus, a country in conflict with Turkey since 1974 comes in the backdrop of growing Ankara-Islamabad solidarity following India’s Operation Sindoor , which targeted terror hubs in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. Strategic EU partners Both Cyprus and Croatia are members of the European Union. Notably, Cyprus is set to assume the rotating presidency of the EU Council in the first half of next year. Modi was earlier scheduled to visit Croatia, along with the Netherlands and Norway, last month, but the trip was postponed due to heightened military tensions with Pakistan. G7 Summit in Canada The G7 Summit will be held in Kananaskis, Alberta, from 15 to 17 June. Prime Minister Modi is expected to attend the outreach session on the final day. Since the invitation from Canada came at short notice, the details of his programme are still being finalised. Efforts are underway to organise bilateral meetings on the sidelines. Historic Cyprus visit Modi’s visit to Cyprus will be closely watched, as it marks only the third visit by an Indian Prime Minister after A B Vajpayee in 2002 and Indira Gandhi in 1983. The visit comes amid strained ties between India and Turkey, which openly supported Pakistan during last month’s India-Pakistan military confrontation. Background: The Cyprus-Turkey conflict The Cyprus-Turkey conflict is a decades-old territorial and political dispute rooted in ethnic tensions and rival national interests. The conflict escalated in 1974, when Turkey invaded the northern part of Cyprus following a Greek-backed coup that sought to unify the island with the Greek mainland. Turkey claimed its intervention was to protect the Turkish Cypriot minority. However, the invasion led to the division of the island into two parts. Today, the internationally recognised Republic of Cyprus, governed by Greek Cypriots, controls the southern two-thirds of the island and is a member of the European Union.
