Cyprus to demand guarantees for humanitarian use of UK bases

The government of Cyprus announced it will demand guarantees from the UK that its military bases on the island will not be used for military purposes. This is a response to the UK's decision to allow the US to use these bases in a potential conflict with Iran.

Cyprus will seek clear guarantees from the United Kingdom that the two British bases on its territory will not be used for any purpose other than humanitarian ones, a government spokesman said. This announcement comes after two drones targeting one of the bases were shot down earlier on Monday.
