UK ‘not involved’ in Iran attack, aircraft reposition to Cyprus base

The United Kingdom has thus far not been involved in attacks carried out by the United States and Israel on Iran, according to reports on Saturday, though the country’s presence at its Akrotiri air force base in Cyprus is being bolstered.

Two Royal Air Force Airbus A400M military transport aircraft departed from the Brize Norton airbase in Oxfordshire, on the UK mainland, for Akrotiri.

The first landed at Akrotiri at 1.15pm, while the second was as of 1.30pm located south of Rhodes.
