Saudi Arabia, Mar 03: Iran is boiling over after the US-Israeli joint attack killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Therefore, Iran is carrying out missile attacks on Middle Eastern countries. It is carrying out missile attacks on Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain at will. Meanwhile, Iran has made a major blunder by attacking a British base in Cyprus with a missile. It has now forced Greece, which was silent, to enter the war.
After the attack on the British base, Greece is ready to defend Cyprus from ‘any possible attacks’, Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias said. Two drones targeting the UK’s RAF Akrotiri air base were shot down in Cypriot airspace. Greece later announced it was sending two frigates and two F-16 jets to Cyprus to repel the attacks.
Earlier, Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides said a Shaheed-type drone had caused “minor damage” to military installations inside a UK air base on the island’s southern coast. He said the drone strike took place just after midnight on Monday. There were no casualties in the drone attack. Iran has been carrying out missile strikes on several Israeli and American facilities in the region in retaliation for a US-Israeli coordinated attack on February 28.
The Iranian drone attack came after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer gave the US permission to use British military bases for “defensive” strikes.
