British Defense Secretary John Healey said that two Iranian missiles were fired towards Cyprus. It is unclear whether the missiles were aimed at the British military bases of Akrotiri and Dhekelia. Both missiles were intercepted.
“We are almost sure that they were not targeting our bases,”
said
John Healy, adding that the very fact of the launch shows how indiscriminate Iran's response is.
Let us recall that the British government has stated that it is not participating in the Israeli and US operation against Iran.
