day four (13. 228)

Following attacks on the British sovereign airbases on Cyprus for their tacit cooperation with US aggressors, the government of Spain denies American forces the use of their jointly operated bases in Rota and Morรณn in pursuing its attack on Iran, strongly condemning US-Israeli strikes. Explosions were observed in Riyadh as well as a fire at the local US embassy, with more air raids at Dhekelia, UAE, Erbil and Bahrain. Non-essential personnel are being evacuated after the strikes in the Saudi capital and the hotel quartering US troops in Iraq, with Trump vowing retaliation over the drone attack on the consulate. Airspace and trade routes continue to be closed. Israel continues the bombing campaign in Beirut against Hezbollah operations.
