British Prime Minister Keir Starmer tells Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides “clearly and unequivocally” that Cyprus was not the target of an Iranian missile attack, according to Cyprus’s readout.
Earlier, UK Defense Secretary John Healey said that two Iranian missiles were fired toward Cyprus.
“We don’t believe they were targeted at Cyprus,” says Healey in a Sky News interview. The UK has two large sovereign base districts in Cyprus.
