Iran’s retaliation appears to be widening beyond the United States and Israel after a Shahed-type drone struck the RAF base at Akrotiri in Cyprus shortly after midnight on March 2. Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides confirmed minimal damage and no casualties, stressing the country is not part of military operations. The incident followed UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer approving U.S. use of British bases for defensive strikes. European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen voiced solidarity with member states. The escalation began after strikes that reportedly killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, triggering regional attacks.
