Spain has announced that it will send a naval frigate to protect Cyprus from incoming missiles and drones by Iran. Cyprus was targeted by Iranian drones for its British base in Akrotiri. Greece and the UK have also added more military assets to the island following the attack.

France is also transferring its naval flagship, the Charles De Gaulle, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean.

The Spanish naval vessels to be sent to Cyprus is the Cristóbal Colón, and it is equipped with anti-air defence systems.

The Spanish Prime Minister was involved in a dispute with the US President Donald Trump after he requested US military assets to leave US bases in Spain to dissociate Spain from any involvement in the war against Iran. Iran’s incumbent President praised the Spanish premier’s position.
