Iran-linked attacks on European bases prompt France and Italy to open talks with Iran over Strait of Hormuz safety

Iranian-made drones and missiles targeted British military bases in Cyprus and an Italian base in Iraq, causing limited damage and prompting European security concerns. In response, France and Italy have opened talks with Iran over safety in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The attacks have led European nations to plan enhanced maritime protection operations in the region. This development represents a coordinated European diplomatic and security response to Iranian-linked aggression against allied military assets.
