It’s starting to feel like we might be involved in this. 🙄
We have several airbases in this region. Why have we sent a submarine?
The usual clickbait “nuclear powered” aside – how many Tomahawks does one of these carry, and how much difference will that really make?
The US firepower is immense, and has seemingly wiped out most of Iran’s main assets already. But there’s loads of hidden places along the (very long) coastline which can launch a combined thousands of drones to take out shipping in the Straits.
Seems nothing is really going to take out all of Iran’s capability unless someone nukes their entire coastline over and over, which would obviously be insane and hopefully never happens.
Only took the lapdog a week or two to stop yapping and get back to heel
I dream of a day when the world properly distinguishes between SSN and SSBN in discourse and reporting.
That submarine should be in the North Atlantic helping us meet our nato commitments not in an illegal war in the Middle East trump has made it clear he doesn’t need us
tbf the Royal Navy could just park up by Cyprus and lob Cruise Missiles toward Iran. Most places there are still with in range. No real need to get too close.
Starmer really does want to get in on this, despite literally every sane person in the UK begging him not to. But he has to have his external war to silence internal party divisions.
Well, he’s threatening Greenland again now so maybe we have to show willing?
Wouldn’t surprise me if Starmer was just lying to Trump about this. Not like anyone can see it.
Can we not call this what it is? Trump, for his own vanity, has basically started a war that is repidly engulfing the world. Then he calls us cowards because we don’t want or need this illegal war. Trump needs to be removed from office, but getting JD Vance instead fills me with abject horror.
I have friends in Tehran, the Bekkaa valley, UAE. I do not support the UK getting involved. An end to this insanity will not come through force alone.
This is embarrassing. The phase of the war where a *handful* of TLAM launched from an RN SSN is long gone. Any targets where we could actually make an impact on the war with such a strike will have long been struck by the US and Israel. Maybe they might find something for us to strike just for the politics of it, but that’s just demeaning.
If we’re going to get involved, we’ll have to commit significantly more assets. Which we don’t have. So we should just stay out of it and suck up the high oil prices. Then domestically do the sums to see if the economic hurt was worth the decades of military penny pinching. Will we learn from this and change our ways? Doubt it.
How many times must Iran attack us before we start to say mean things about them? I’m assuming mean things are the worst we can do, considering how harshly they are policed in the UK
