Hearing chatter about Ben Wallace for defence secretary... He's a former army officer in Scots Guards & a past overseas director of QinetiQ. Knows a lot about Iran too, having chaired the all-party parliamentary group for almost a decade.

Defense Secretary says US military 'will be available' to escort commercial ships passing Iran

Two 'British' tankers heading for the Strait of Hormuz. Stena Important is registered in Bermuda; Sea Ploeg in the Cayman Islands. Another UK-flagged tanker (BW Elm) passed the Strait without problems. I guess capturing one British Tanker was enough for Iran.

An Iranian news outlet reports the funeral of an IRGC fighter who died in “a cowardly US-Israeli drone strike” in Iraq’s Amerli. The Iraqi militias blamed a fire. The Iraqi army said only that 2 Iraqi Turkmen died. What really happened?

ON OTHER THREAD I STATED THAT THERE SURE SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF 'STUFF' IN FORWARD OPERATION 'POSITIONS'..CAN THERE BE MUCH MORE..B 4....YOU KNO?...

It is an increasingly precarious balancing act.


Even the Wallendas fall sometimes though.

NEW:

@CENTCOM

officials have told

@AmichaiStein1

that “allies and partner nations” (presumably including the UK) have discussed a new maritime security initiative in the Gulf: "Operation Sentinel" Fairly speculative, but interesting.
