Officials in the United Kingdom say an Iranian drone struck a British air base in Cyprus overnight, causing limited damage and no casualties. Iran’s attack came after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he had agreed to the Pentagon’s request to use British military bases for what Starmer called “defensive” strikes on Iranian missile sites. Separately, France said it was sending two warships to the Red Sea to join a European naval mission. Meanwhile, Germany’s foreign minister denied reports that Berlin was “seriously considering” joining the war against Iran. In Spain, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez condemned the U.S.-Israeli strikes as a breach of international law.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez: “It is possible to be against a hateful regime, as Spanish society as a whole is against the Iranian regime, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention that’s outside international law. One must be against a war that was started without the authorization of the United States Congress or the United Nations Security Council.”
