      >A second attack has been launched on a British military base in Cyprus, according to the Cypriot government.

      >Two unmanned drones heading towards RAF Akrotiri have been „successfully intercepted“, a spokesman said.

      >An hour ago, air raid sirens sounded at the base, which came under attack by Iranian drones targeting the runway overnight.

      And it also turns out, as per a tweet by a Guardian journalist, that the first attack yesterday was before the UK announced they were allowing the US to use the bases. So it was an unprovoked military attack on sovereign British territory.

      I’m not sure what Iran’s strategy here. Throw enough shit at the US’s allies in the region and hope they get fed up and tell the US to pack it in?

      I hope we don’t get property dragged into this.

      At this point they’ve gone full scorched earth.

      Launching attacks on over 10 different countries is insane given their position.

      Wouldn’t surprise me if we start seeing UK jets heading towards Iran now, or at least providing full support to the US and Israel.

      Over the last 14 or 15 hours since Iran first hit Cyprus there has been a massive shift in tone from the UK government and Europe in general, a lot of countries are diverting more and more resources towards the middle east.

      Also correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t the UK use article 4 here to try and bring NATO into this? A direct attack on a UK military base in Europe is definitely an act which NATO was created for.

      Wondering if that first hit on our runway was launched from Lebanon by Hezbollah in that initial wave last night. Seems like this mornings attack was two shaheds, both intercepted but at least one over land.
      We’ve even got Greece deploying their fancy new frigates for us. One holds their centauros anti drone system, effective combat tested jammer.

      We’re not going to fight for America. They disrespected our vets and we just go out of the middle east in the past few years. If they want to die fighting Iranians, let them, but keep the UK out of it.

      Are you telling me all those top 1% commenters aren’t privy to details of COBRA meetings? I am shocked.

      I hope the world comes together to destroy them, they committed one of the worst massacres of protesters in history just a month ago, no one protests for them

      Somehow some socialists still think that ICE killing two people is equally bad and means we shouldn’t support America

      They are saying if we go down we’re taking someone with us. We’re gonna cause damage to a lot of people.

      Never completely surround your enemy always leave an out because what if the way he chooses is through. Through you.

      It’s a dangerous move to attack a sovereign base like that, especially before any official involvement was even announced. Their strategy seems less like calculated escalation and more like indiscriminate provocation. I really hope cooler heads prevail so we don’t get pulled deeper into this mess.

      Thank you USA for dragging us into another war, for pushing our prices up and for creating future terrorists who want revenge for us blowing up their families.

      This is a mask off moment for a lot of the left in this country. In times lile this you don’t repeat enemy propaganda or suggest we don’t defend our bases.

      Time to bring in more air defence capabilities – easy enough to intercept one incoming target but what if many start coming in at one – Ukraine style…

      I bet we’ll see a T45 destroyer deployed to the eastern Mediterranean.

      Whilst I am ambivalent about USA and Israel attacking Iran ….. can you imagine if Iran had nuclear tipped missiles?????
