Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides stated that the UK's military bases in Cyprus are a 'colonial consequence' and called for discussions on their future. The bases, established under a 1960 treaty, have faced criticism following a drone attack linked to Hezbollah. While the UK has increased its military presence in response, the bases have not been used for US operations against Iran. Christodoulides emphasized the responsibility for the over 10,000 Cypriots working in the bases and noted ongoing military cooperation with the UK.
