The Cyprus Peace Council strongly opposes the attacks on Iran, blaming the USA and Israel. They believe this escalation could lead to a large-scale war with serious regional effects.
The announcement points out that the attacks on the British base in Akrotiri show that military bases raise tensions instead of providing security. The council sees these bases as a constant threat and calls for their closure.
The organization urges the Republic of Cyprus to condemn actions it sees as violations of international law. They want Cyprus to distance itself from military conflicts with Great Britain, worried about possible backlash or retaliation.
They also call for steps to protect Cypriot citizens in the Middle East. The council stresses that Cyprus should be a stabilizing force and a place for dialogue.
Finally, the council invites everyone to join an anti-war rally on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at 17:00, at the amphitheater on Limassol’s promenade.
