From mine clearance to escorting tankers the UK and France promised to lead a “defensive” mission to reassure shipping “when conditions allow.”
With the ink now dry on the first step of a US/Iran peace deal that mission looks like it’s about to go from plan to reality.
Rear Admiral (retired) James Parkin shares his experience of leading a protective mission in the Strait, when Iran was seizing tankers in 2020. He also tells Sitrep just how tense it can be facing Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy.
Professor Michael Clarke explains what the UK is most likely to contribute, and what could happen if the fighting restarts around British vessels.
