Overview

• The Foreign Office has issued a new travel warning urging British nationals visiting Cyprus to remain vigilant as hostilities between Israel and Iran escalate.
• Cyprus’s proximity—just 145 miles from Israel—and the presence of UK Sovereign Base Areas heighten the potential for regional spillover.
• The advisory flags a high global threat of terrorist attacks targeting UK interests and warns that violence could be indiscriminate, including at popular resorts.
• Holidaymakers are urged to monitor local and international news outlets closely and obey instructions from Cypriot authorities.
• This advisory follows a series of late-June FCDO updates covering border zones in Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Iraq.
