Iran attack on UK base in Cyprus exposes threat caused by military alliance with US-Israel

Humanity is currently on the brink of a major, widespread war in the Middle East and the wider region. Shortly before midnight on Sunday, a drone attack struck a British base in Akrotiri, Cyprus, demonstrating how dangerous and rapidly escalating the situation has become.

The United Kingdom had previously stated that it would make its bases available for US military operations. In addition, France and Germany appear ready to join the war.

The unprovoked military attack launched three days ago by the United States and Israel against Iran in the midst of negotiations has already left hundreds dead, plunging the region into a new cycle of bloodshed.

Among the victims were 180 young girls who were killed when a strike flattened a primary school. Following Tehran‘s response against Israel, US bases in neighboring countries have also been targeted. In addition, Israel launched fierce attacks against Lebanon yesterday. The situation is escalating, with the number of fronts and deaths increasing dramatically.

For months, the intentions and military preparations of the US and Israel for a large-scale attack on Iran have been known, under the false pretext of its nuclear program, with the aim, as always, to change the country’s regime and impose their imperialist plans on the wider region.

The continued military cooperation of Greece and Cyprus with the US and Israel is dragging both into the war against Iran, making the two states accomplices and turning them into targets for retaliation.
