Iranian media: A U-2 reconnaissance aircraft was hit at a British-American base in Cyprus! According to recent reports by Iranian media, during an Iranian Revolutionary Guard drone attack on the Royal Air Force base in Akrotiri, Cyprus, a hangar was accurately hit, which housed a U-2 "Dragon Lady" high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of the United States Air Force. The report stated that this type of aircraft has frequently taken off from the Akrotiri base recently, conducting reconnaissance missions over areas near the Iranian border. Therefore, Iran emphasized that the Akrotiri military base is "effectively British and American territory." So far, the United States has not commented on the loss of the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, while the Cypriot government claimed that the Iranian attack caused "limited losses," but did not specify the details of the damage.
Comments: Iran's strike on the US and UK bases in Cyprus, the gateway to Europe, marks that its retaliation has exceeded the threshold. Whether the operation targeting the US U-2 reconnaissance aircraft is successful or not, it aims not only to weaken the US intelligence capabilities but also to send a strong signal that any base providing a platform and base for attacks on Iran by the US and Israel will face Iranian strikes, with a powerful deterrent effect.
