Not a peep from mainstream media when RAF pilots were carrying our near daily surveillance flights over Gaza.

Now, they’re doing full-on military propaganda.

The Guardian is vile.

"We can't tell the world what you are doing here..."

Prime Minister Keir Starmer thanked British soldiers at RAF Akrotiri. They were secretly aiding Israel's genocide in Gaza.

[Genocide-Free Cyprus @genocidefree_cy]

🚨Less than 24 hours after RAF Akrotiri was attacked by drones, the UK deployed a Voyager refuelling aircraft from Cyprus last night, likely accompanied by fighter jets, towards Jordan.

This was shortly after the Muwaffaq Salti Airbase, a key US military hub, was targeted.

🚨🇨🇾🇬🇧Bases Off Cyprus Statement Against the Use of Cyprus in the War Against Iran

LONDON - In the early hours of yesterday (2nd March 2026), the British military bases on Cyprus, RAF Akrotiri and Dhekelia, were hit by drones just after UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed British bases would be used to support the US-Israeli war of aggression on Iran.

The US has been launching planes from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, according to The Times. The British restriction of US actions from the bases to only ‘defensive operations’ is fictitious, as these include strikes on ground targets in Iran - offensive, unprovoked, deadly attacks.

We condemn this warmongering by the British government, which quickly facilitated the use of British military bases for illegal and deadly attacks. We condemn any involvement of Britain in this war on Iran.

The bases on Cyprus are a destructive, dangerous anomaly that destabilises West Asia, puts Cyprus in the crosshairs of war, and are outposts for the violence of the Anglo-American empire. The bases must be shut down as a step towards peace in the region and in Cyprus. Since December 2023, the bases on Cyprus acted as a central link supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza through surveillance flights, weapons and soldier transfers, and as a rear base for the Israeli air force. The presence of the bases puts the people of Cyprus in grave danger by dragging them into a war they do not want to be a part of.

The Sovereign Base Areas (SBAs) are a British colony illegally retained from Cyprus upon its independence in 1960. They have remained occupied territory ever since. The United States utilizes British sovereignty to conduct a wide range of operations from the bases, including National Security Agency intelligence operations, refuelling bombers, and as a key logistical node for US military presence across the Gulf. The people of Cyprus have no say over what happens in the SBAs; the area is governed by a British military commander subordinate to the Ministry of Defence in London, and there is no democratic civilian oversight.

Keir Starmer has declared the UK’s involvement as an aggressor state in the illegal war on Iran and the SABs’ use in that war. As such, the bases have become military targets for retaliation strikes from the states that Britain is helping attack. To ensure the safety of Cypriots, Britain and the United States must immediately withdraw their armies from the bases, shut the bases down, and return the area to Cypriot sovereignty.

The only solution to this violence is to get these bases off Cyprus.

❗️Call To Action | Dismantle the UK–US bases in Cyprus!

The attacks on RAF Akrotiri have exposed the real threat the presence of the bases brings to the island.

Cyprus, now's your chance to kick the British military off your island

Just do it

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

Cyprus was given “independence” in 1960, but it never decolonised

Britain retained 3% of the island which it turned into huge military installations

It’s a parable for a bigger story

The British Empire never ended. It was merely reconfigured + subsumed into ascendant US Empire

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

Now that British ‘mainstream’ journalists have discovered where Akrotiri is, they should watch our film about the over 600 spy flights flown from there by the RAF in aid of Israeli intelligence — which they dutifully avoided covering. 👇

[UK-US: Bases Off Cyprus @basesoffcyprus]

This is a lie.

[Sky News @SkyNews]

"We're not joining the U.S and Israeli strikes."

Sir Keir Starmer has confirmed the UK will not join the U.S-Israeli strikes on Iran, and use of British bases will only be used for defence purposes.

There are reports of sirens being heard at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus on Monday noon, March 02, 2026.

More details to follow.

Now Paphos International Airport in Cyprus has been evacuated after a "suspicious object" appeared on radars, likely a drone.

The airport is used by US/NATO military aircraft as the Andreas Papandreou Air Base is situated nearby to support military logistics in the region.

[UK-US: Bases Off Cyprus @basesoffcyprus]

The UK-US bases on Cyprus have been used to carry out over 600 surveillance flights over Gaza, bomb Iran, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iraq. Syria, and support in countless attacks on the region.

Now they threaten Cypriots who did not choose for them to be there.
