      The UK’s military base on Cypress was attacked in the opening weekend of the war. At the time the UK was not allowing the US to use any of its bases. Once that (and attacks on the gulf states who also werent participating in the war) happened the UK shifted to allowing the US to use its bases for “defensive” strikes.

        “The explosions came shortly after Prime Minister Keir Starmer authorized the United States to conduct what Britain described as defensive strikes against Iranian missile sites from British bases on the island.”
