Government Source in London: British Bases in Cyprus Will Not Be Used in War

A British government source has assured that British bases in Cyprus will not be used for offensive military operations, responding to questions regarding the recent announcement by the United Kingdom allowing the US to use the bases for attacks on Iranian targets. This announcement has prompted an immediate reaction from Iran, with the Foreign Minister characterizing Britain as a participant in the war and warning of retaliation. US aircraft have already used the RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia bases.
