Turkish Journalist Warns Cyprus Becoming a Military Hub

Turkish journalist İbrahim Karagül warns that Cyprus is becoming a central hub for military movements, with all forces 'fleeing' there and missiles following. He claims the US is moving aircraft from various bases to Cyprus, while Cyprus has requested assistance from Greece, which responded by sending two warships. Furthermore, he reports that Israeli citizens and aircraft have been transferred to the island and Britain is considering evacuating its military base. Karagül believes the concentration of military forces in Cyprus could trigger developments in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea, directly affecting Turkey. He also mentions a halt in oil and gas production by Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Qatar, as well as a possible closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
