BBC news reports

Cyprus has accepted a request from the US to station a "rapid response team" on the island, in case American government personnel or civilians need to be evacuated amid the growing tension between the US and Iran.

Cypriot government spokesman Kyriacos Koushos told reporters on Wednesday the request was made through the US embassy in the capital Nicosia.

"It has been a longstanding practice for the Republic of Cyprus to provide facilities for humanitarian operations on the basis of requests from third countries. We will continue to do so as a factor of stability and security in the region", he said.
