A travel advice has issued an urgent message to UK tourists with Cyprus holidays booked after a Foreign Office change. Simon Calder, the ITV This Morning star, offered his advice on whether it is safe to travel to Cyprus as the Iran-Israel conflict continues. Israel, only 145 miles from the popular Cypriot resort of Ayia Napa, launched airstrikes on Iran on 13 June. The US then became involved after launching attacks on Tehran鈥檚 nuclear facilities over the weekend. The Foreign Office said that 鈥渙ngoing hostilities in the region鈥 could 鈥渆scalate quickly and pose security risks for the wider region鈥, but has not issued an official warning suggesting Cyprus is unsafe for visitors.

CIA director John Ratcliffe in a statement said that new intelligence from a 鈥渉istorically reliable鈥 source indicated that 鈥渟everal key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed and would have to be rebuilt over the course of years.鈥 Democratic Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer criticised the reported decision to limit information sharing, saying 鈥渟enators deserve information, and the administration has a legal obligation to inform Congress precisely about what is happening right now abroad鈥. Director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said in a post on X that 鈥渘ew intelligence confirms鈥 what Trump has stated. 鈥淚ran鈥檚 nuclear facilities have been destroyed. If the Iranians chose to rebuild, they would have to rebuild all three facilities (Natanz, Fordow, Esfahan) entirely, which would likely take years to do,鈥 she said.
