🔴Strange Lights Over the Sea Near Dhekelia: Residents Capture Mysterious Object in the Night Sky
A new nighttime video recorded by a resident in the Dhekelia area has begun circulating online. The footage was filmed at around 00:09 on March 4, 2026. In the video, a bright glowing object can be seen appearing over the sea not far from the shoreline.
According to witnesses, the object moved across the sky for a short time before gradually disappearing. It is believed that the sighting could be related to aerial monitoring or interception activity. In recent days, the region has experienced increased military activity, especially around the British Sovereign Base Areas in Cyprus.
Authorities are urging residents to remain calm. At this time, there is no indication of any direct threat to the public.
Citizens are advised to:
• follow official announcements from the government and security services
• avoid spreading unverified rumors
• rely only on trusted news sources

💥When Will the War End?
US acts without past scruples, struck Venezuela last October and now the Middle East.
Iran has amassed missiles and drones and appears willing to use them.
Duration depends on two things.
First: Iran — will new leaders after Khamenei’s assassination escalate and harden regional ties, or choose pragmatic flexibility to survive and reopen talks, maybe via Oman?
Second: US politics — Trump follows markets and voters; many Americans and 45% of Republicans oppose a prolonged war.
Result hinges on Iran’s endurance and Trump’s choices.

🎤Lebanese MP: IRGC, Hezbollah linked to Cyprus drone
MP Mark B. Daou: Hezbollah has not formally claimed the Cyprus drone strike. Reports point to a Lebanon origin and possible Iranian Revolutionary Guard officers operating with Hezbollah. Daou says IRGC are active in Lebanon, retain some weapons and supply advisors and coordinates; a direct Iran-to-Cyprus drone seems unlikely.
He expects Israel to avoid deep ground invasion, preferring distant strikes. Hezbollah depends on Iranian funding, arms and supply lines; Tehran’s collapse would weaken it. Full civil war in Lebanon unlikely; political rifts grow and some ministers back dissolving Hezbollah’s military wing.

🤬OSCE PA to Mention Cyprus in Statement on Iran
OSCE Parliamentary Assembly will include a special reference to Cyprus in its declaration on Iran, stressing that Cyprus’ security and citizens’ safety require responsibility from European states when actions create direct risks in the Eastern Mediterranean. The request came from MP Irini Charalambidou, vice‑president of the assembly, at the March 3 presidium on Middle East developments. She cited a recent drone strike on British Bases, said Cyprus was exposed without control, complained of inadequate prior warning from base authorities, and warned that erosion of the UN role limits crisis‑management options.

‼️Escalation threat in the Middle East: how it could affect Cyprus
Iranian military officials have warned that Tehran could strike Israel’s nuclear facility in Dimona if attacks by the United States and Israel continue. According to statements from Iran’s senior military leadership, missiles are allegedly prepared for a “final strike” on the reactor in Dimona and on regional energy infrastructure.
Such rhetoric is increasing tensions across the Eastern Mediterranean. Cyprus lies only a few hundred kilometers from Israel and often finds itself near the center of regional military activity. The island also hosts British military bases, which are frequently involved in logistics and operations in the wider region.
Experts say that if the situation escalates further, it could impact regional security, airspace activity, and maritime routes around Cyprus.
