Moment terrified Brits watch from their Cyprus hotel balconies as Iranian missiles rain down on Israel 250 miles across the Mediterranean

This is the surreal moment British revellers were left stunned as they spotted ballistic missiles flying over the sky while they partied in Ayia Napa amid the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict.
Bizarre footage taken by British tourists from a balcony in the Cypriot party spot shows the long-range missiles soaring over the sky, leaving the holidaymakers stunned.
One man is heard saying: 'That is not a firework', while a female asks 'are we going to die?' as music plays in the background.
The clip has racked over two million views on TikTok.
Another video shared by a Brit in Cyprus showed a barrage of projectiles illuminating the night sky as they headed for Israel.
The caption read: 'You're having a nice drink in Cyprus and then you see Iranian missiles heading towards Israel.'
When asked by a viewer if she was in danger, the tourist said: 'No need to worry, you just see it from afar'.
In Cyprus, locals and tourists have been left stunned at the spectacle of missiles jetting over the island this week, with several reportedly flocking to rooftops and beachfront bars to watch.
Speaking to Cypriot newsoutlet Ynet, a Finnish tourist said: 'It's crazy—we can see everything from here.
'People just stand on balconies and the boardwalk and watch the missiles and intercepts. What you're going through over there is terrible. We hope it ends soon.'
The video comes as the Middle Eastern conflict reached a breaking point last week when Israel launched a series of blistering attacks on Iranian soil, targeting the country's nuclear infrastructure, as well as densely populated parts of cities.
Iran responded by launching a wave of retaliatory missile strikes on Israel.
Revellers at a Lebanese pool party this week also shared clips of Iranian missiles flying over to hit Israeli targets.
A video showed partygoers in a large swimming pool dancing, clapping and cheering as long-range missiles flew off to Israel in the distance.
The celebrations carried on, even as the missiles slammed into Israeli territory.
This was just the latest example of revelry in Lebanon in the wake of the Israel-Iran conflict.
But while much of the world watched in horror as the two Middle Eastern nations duked it out, scenes across Lebanon, which shares its southern border with Israel, were far different.

Missiles can be spotted in other countries due to their high altitude and the combustion trail they leave behind.
Their powerful engines leave bright trails that are especially visible at night.
Iranian missiles hit a major hospital in southern Israel on Thursday and struck residential buildings in Tel Aviv, wounding 240 people ad causing extensive damage.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz blamed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and said the military 'has been instructed and knows that in order to achieve all of its goals, this man absolutely should not continue to exist.'
Israel, meanwhile, carried out strikes on Iran's Arak heavy water reactor, its latest attack on Iran's sprawling nuclear program.
Iranian state television said there was 'no radiation danger whatsoever' and that the facility had been evacuated before the attack.
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the 'situation in the Middle East remains perilous,' after meeting Thursday at the White House with his U.S. counterpart, Marco Rubio, and presidential envoy Steve Witkoff.
'We are determined that Iran must never have a nuclear weapon,' Lammy wrote in a post on X.
'We discussed how a deal could avoid a deepening conflict. A window now exists within the next two weeks to achieve a diplomatic solution,' he added.

‘She's wrong': Trump throws Tulsi Gabbard under the bus on Iran

Donald Trump has said that Tulsi Gabbard and the US intelligence community is 'wrong' about Iran's nuclear capabilities. The US president doubled down on his claim that his own government officials are mistaken about how close Iran is to building a nuclear bomb when challenged by a reporter on Friday. 'What intelligence do you have that Iran is building a nuclear weapon?', Mr Trump was asked outside Air Force One. 'Your intelligence community have said they have no evidence that they are at this point.' 'Well then my intelligence community is wrong,' Mr Trump responded, before asking: 'who in my intelligence community said that?' 'Your director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard,' the reporter replies, before the president retorts: 'She's wrong.' Mr Trump added: 'Within a matter of weeks, or certainly within a matter of months, they're going to be able to have a nuclear weapon. We can't let that happen.' In March, Ms Gabbard told Congress the intelligence community 'continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorised the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.' She also said the US was closely monitoring Iran's nuclear program, noting that the country's 'enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons.' Its the second time Mr Trump has directly contradicted Ms Gabbard on the issue, with the US president saying on Thursday that he did not 'care what she thinks'. Speaking aboard Air Force One on his return from the G7 summit in Canada, Mr Trump told reporters: 'I think they were very close to having a weapon.' Ms Gabbard later told CNN that her comments had been taken out of context and that she was on 'the same page' as Mr Trump. General Erik Kurilla, who leads US forces in the Middle East, recently testified to Congress that Iran could produce enough nuclear material for 10 weapons in three weeks. However, he did not say how long it would take to assemble the pieces into a bomb. On Thursday, Mr Trump's press secretary said Iran could produce a nuclear bomb 'within weeks'. 'Let's be very clear, Iran has all that it needs to achieve a nuclear weapon,' she said. 'All they need is a decision from the Supreme Leader to do that, and it would take a couple of weeks to complete the production of that weapon, which would of course pose an existential threat not just to Israel, but to the United States and to the entire world.' A senior intelligence official said Mr Trump was right to be concerned because its uranium enrichment far exceeds what would be needed for domestic purposes. Another senior administration official said Iran was as close to having a nuclear weapon as it could be without having one. Both spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive issues. Mr Trump's contradiction of Ms Gabbard echoed his feuds with US spy leaders during his first term, when he viewed them as part of a 'deep state' that was undermining his agenda. Most notably, he sided with Vladimir Putin in 2018 when asked if Moscow had interfered in the 2016 election, saying Mr Putin was 'extremely strong and powerful in his denial.'

Stunning map shows the lengths pilots go through to avoid conflict zones

A stunning map of current global flight routes has shown the lengths pilots have to go through to avoid conflict zones. As the Russia-Ukraine war rages on and the Israel-Iran conflict intensifies, the world has become more chaotic, and so has its airspace. A live flight tracking map from Flightradar24 showed planes bustling in western Europe and most of Asia. But there are startling holes in the map, which happen to be where the world's major conflicts are currently taking place. Ukraine had no planes in its airspace, and there were very few planes flying over Russia late Friday afternoon, according to Flightradar24's map. Some Middle Eastern countries, including Israel, Iran and the surrounding nations of Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Kuwait, also had no flights coming in or out based on the map. The lack of air travel can be linked to the air strikes Russia and Ukraine as well as Israel and Iran have been launching against each other in respective conflicts. It's been more than three years since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The missile and drone strikes and their counterattacks have been non-stop. Earlier this week, Russia launched an overnight attack on Kyiv, killing 28 people and injuring over 100 more, The Associated Press reported, citing local officials. Israel had already been at war with Hamas when it struck Iran's nuclear facilities and hit military targets in the region last Friday. The attacks killed several of Tehran's top military leaders and leading nuclear scientists, and Iran subsequently launched heavy retaliatory strikes against Israel. Besides man-made conflict, natural disasters can also make the jobs of pilots more difficult. 'Airspace closures have become quite common,' Singapore -based aviation consultant Brendan Sobie told CNN. 'It's almost like the new normal for airlines to have to navigate this kind of thing.'

Trump's credibility gap and why Iran may want to take its chances in Israel conflict

After hours of talks, the ayatollah's chief diplomat emerged giving little away. All eyes were on Abbas Aragchi. Would he give ground in the face of Israel's fierce bombardment of his country? Yes, but only if Israel stops that bombardment which is not going to happen. Especially after a day when two of Israel's big cities suffered direct hits from Iranian missiles. The best that can be said for almost four hours of talks, is they happened and might again. There were no breakthroughs to report, no ground shifting on either side. The talks were flawed in concept from the beginning. The countries meeting Aragchi here are not involved in the conflict. Israel and America were absent. The US did send a message, via Britain's foreign secretary David Lammy. We want to talk but we're serious about getting involved with military force if you do not. But the UK was delivering an American ultimatum and threat of force it does not itself believe to be a good idea. Britain and its European partners want de-escalation and oppose any idea of Donald Trump and his military getting involved. Iran is embattled, beleaguered and bombarded. But if its government is worried, its calm and collected foreign minister was showing none of it. The Iranians know Trump may send in the bombers and bunker busters within two weeks, but do they believe him? The president for whom they coined the acronym 'Trump Always Chickens Out' has a credibility gap. And if he takes action that leads to a chain of events where Americans end up dying, he will be crucified for it by his own MAGA movement.
