| 'When Cyprus is attacked, Europe is attacked': Macron announces EU navies will protect island from Iranian attacks - with British warships still in UK |
| 2026-03-10 |
| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] It came as a French-led carrier strike group containing ships from four EU member states steams east through the Mediterranean to help defend Cyprus, following a plea for help from Mr Christodoulides. At the same time, HMS Dragon, which has been ordered to deploy to the region, remains in Portsmouth taking on ammunition. Additionally, No10 signalled today that despite reports over the weekend suggesting the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales was being readied to follow, it will not be going to the warzone. In a further blow to British naval prestige, he also announced France will send warships to the Red Sea to guard ships traversing the Straits of Hormuz off the south coast of Iran. At the same time, Sir Keir made a low-key visit to a community centre in London discussing the cost of living, amid fears that the US-led conflict with Iran could send fuel prices soaring. Experts warned that petrol could hit £2 a litre for the first time, amid a staggering spike in global oil costs. The AA and RAC have advised drivers to cut non-essential journeys and avoid harsh acceleration and braking to conserve fuel. |
