The UK does not allow the US to use it for offensive missions.
That’s hair splitting though, because a whole lot of US aircraft have moved through that base in preparation for the attack. And they have been seen, pictures have been all over the internet. Logistics to support the war are also going through European US bases, and (especially military) logistics of an opponent are a legitimate target, too.
the whole reason Iran targets a place like this is so other countries (e.g. Cyprus) pressure the US into halting their campaign. This is why i’m saying they shouldn’t voice their anger too publicly.
And the US halting their reckless war would be a bad thing exactly why?
Iran considers us (the Europeans including Cyprus and the US) their enemy. We should not allow Iran to abuse out internal disagreements.
The US, at least with its current government, considers Europe as an enemy, too, and is actively working on overthrowing European cooperation by supporting anti-Euroopean political forces in a lot of European countries, and is waging a trade war on Europe. (Quite likely on behalf of Russia, another declared enemy of Europe, currently engaged in a war of imperialist conquest on European soil)
Disagreements with the US aren’t “internal”. I’m not saying Europe should go “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”, but it needs to urgently detach itself from the US. If that comes with the added benefit of not painting giant targets all over the European countryside thanks to US military presence and the US starting reckless wars in Europe’s back yard, that’s a good thing.

I agree, i meant internal between ‘neutral’ European countries, like the UK and Cyprus. We should not stand with the US.
