Iranian General Threatens Missile Attacks on Cyprus Over US Military Presence

An Iranian Revolutionary Guard general, Sardar Jabbari, has threatened missile attacks on Cyprus, claiming that the United States has increased its military presence on the island. Jabbari stated that Iran would launch missiles with such intensity as to force the US to leave Cyprus. According to the general, the United States has transferred a large number of aircraft to Cyprus, prompting the threat of dynamic retaliation. This threat comes at a time of heightened tension in the region, with reports of hundreds of aircraft simultaneously bombing Lebanon and Iran.
