UK FOREIGN OFFICE HAS ANNOUNCED IT HAS GONE IN TO OFFICIAL CRISIS MODE OVER IRAN ESCALATION

"We are going into crisis mode," a Whitehall source said, describing it, for now, as "pretty light touch".

Crisis mode is a formal status at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in response to events. There is a crisis centre within the department, with screens, computers and secure telephone lines to enable staff to keep in contact contacts with missions and diplomats in the region affected.

this stuff is the real deal! there is a ton of stuff going on, with Iran and many proxies on a war footing.

Will they attack, nobody knows but we have already seen pinprick attacks probing likely responses.

The top and bottom of it though is that all of these groups have indeed taken an attack posture in multiple countries in the middle east, so the US and allies cannot really sit back.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — An oil pipeline that runs across Saudi Arabia was hit Tuesday by drones, the Saudi energy minister said, as regional tensions flared just days after what the kingdom called an attack on two of its oil tankers near the Persian Gulf.

While both U.S. President Donald Trump and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said they were not planning for conflict, the volatility was felt in oil markets with benchmark Brent crude trading over $71 a barrel, up more than $1 on the day.

Ive spoken to the US military who are denying any rocket attack at Baghdad Airport.

I remember Saudi Arabia had struck some sort of deal with Pakistan regarding Paki nuclear weapons. Saudi Arabia of course has and had plenty of cash to pay for them.

The comments from Trump read to me that he is saying he is decisive. Following that up with Iran will want to talk sounds like he is planning to strike to bomb them to the negotiating table

The US have asked the Israelis to keep out unless attacked so the USA can keep an Arab coalition together easier. Same approach as the 91 gulf war
