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.

As of midday on Saturday, a Royal Air Force Airbus A400M military transport aircraft is flying south of Crete, having departed from the Brize Norton airbase in Oxfordshire, on the UK mainland, and is likely headed towards Akrotiri.
