@MtarfaL Why is there a picture of an E-3D Sentry, which we retired and capability gapped?

Well obviously this is an option because politicians want your votes, and that means more spending on public services at home, education, welfare etc etc. so you shouldn’t be surprised/1

Reports from @larisamlbrown that Labour may cut the Navy are deeply worrying - not only for blindingly obvious military reasons, but also because naval shipbuilding supports 1,000s of skilled jobs in Scotland and, as I discovered as Minister, lots of brilliant apprenticeships👇

@EricLDaugh He’s re-writing history. He didn’t ask other NATO countries to join in. He didn’t even tell them he was going to attack Iran.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. President Trump just NUKED FROM ORBIT NATO allies who want a free ride "So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!" 🔥 "Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn’t want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran. Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices." Trump always remembers.

@gregbagwell I think there is still a desperate hope that the war in Ukraine, and now Iran, will end, and everything goes back to dancing unicorns & rainbows. Don’t commit the money to defence when there is a 0.00000001% we won’t need to & it can go to the benefits budget instead.

The UK’s Defence Investment Plan is resembling Schrödinger's Cat. Neither dead nor alive, but why is it taking so long to open the box and find out? I think there are some valid reasons, but it can’t come soon enough. 🧵1/12

@IntercityFC Errrr. Not true. I’ve done FOST and no matter what weapon you took inboard it started a carbonaceous fire in the Aircrew Refreshment Bar! 😉 Which was usually locked as the supply dept didn’t consider feeding aircrew to be a worthwhile activity. 😀

@FennellJW MOD said last year Type 45 out of service date is 2038. As you say, particularly Daring has hardly been used. A land attack weapon is needed for them too.

This is where Kharg Island is. An operation to take it would involve transit of Straits of Hormuz & then a journey the length of the Persian Gulf. All whilst in range of Iranian missile batteries, Shaheeds, USV’s etc. Does US know if approaches to Kharg have been mined?

The truth is Iran is in the box seat now, able to wreak havoc with the gulf economy seemingly at will. Needs a concerted effort now to bring this nonsense to an end and reopen the Straits of Hormuz.

America launched a war on Iran, the war continues, and yet the US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent has said: “in the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that’s on the water.” According to Bloomberg, Bessent told Fox Business that Iran has about 140 million barrels afloat and “depending on how you count it, that’s 10 days to two weeks of supply.” So Trump won’t negotiate with Iran to end the war but he will allow them to sell their oil. Extraordinary, even by recent Washington metrics
