"Cyprus is said to be seeking new security arrangements for Britain's military bases on the island after it was targeted by Iranian drone attacks. Cypriot president Nikos Christodoulides reportedly raised the issue during a lengthy call with Sir Keir Starmer on Saturday."
"A UK Ministry of Defence spokesperson said the status of the bases was not up for negotiation and that the 'long-standing friendship' between the UK and Cyprus remained strong."
"Mr Christodoulides is seeking to renegotiate the security arrangements of the 1960 treaty, which established the sovereign bases of RAF Akrotiri and Dhekelia in Cyprus, according to The Telegraph."
