IRAN MISSILES FIRED TOWARD CYPRUS, UK WARNS
The UK says Iran launched two missiles toward Cyprus, potentially marking the first Iranian missile attack on Europe.
Defense Secretary John Healey said the missiles were likely not aimed at UK bases on the island but called the incident a sign of a “real and growing threat.”
He also revealed that 300 British troops in Bahrain were close to recent Iranian strikes, with some just hundreds of meters from impact sites.
