More than three weeks have passed since the beginning of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, yet there is no sign of the war ending yet, rather there are signs of increasing conflict in this war. US President Donald Trump is continuously threatening Iran, meanwhile British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has taken a big decision against Iran.
Al Jazeera has quoted a report by Daily Mail as saying that HMS Anson, a British submarine equipped with Tomahawk missiles and powered by nuclear power, has reached near the Strait of Hormuz in the Arabian Sea. The deployment of the British submarine came at a time when President Trump is threatening to intensify military action against Iran.
It is being said that this British submarine had left Perth city of Australia on March 6 earlier this month and it is believed that now HMS Anson has taken up a strategic position in the northern part of the Arabian Sea, which is very close to the Strait of Hormuz.
What weapons is the British submarine equipped with?
This British nuclear powered submarine is fully equipped with many types of very advanced weapons. These weapons include Tomahawk Block IV land attack missiles with a range of 1,600 kilometers and Spearfish heavyweight torpedoes, which make the firepower of this submarine extremely dangerous.
Britain is actively involved in the Iran war
The deployment of British submarines near the Strait of Hormuz in the Arabian Sea indicates that now along with Israel and America, Britain is also actively participating in the war against Iran. Before this, Britain has given permission to America to use British military bases against Iran.
