One of the UK's two aircraft carriers has been placed on advanced readiness to sail from Portsmouth, the BBC understands.
The crew of HMS Prince of Wales have been told they must be ready to leave in five days, defence sources said.
This may raise speculation the carrier could be deployed to the Mediterranean to help defend British interests threatened during the conflict in the Middle East.
Before this, the ship's "notice to sail" was 14 days.
Meanwhile, more US B-1 Lancer bombers have arrived at RAF Fairford. -
Interesting "video" of boat traffic in the area right before the start of the war, and basically, how it crashed down to almost nothing after fighting started.

One thing concerns me greatly. Not hearing reports of social unrest in the streets, nothing that resembles an uprising. Seems like we’d be hearing about it if it were occurring.

I'm unconvinced that being bombed makes people hate their government more than the people dropping the bombs. History would indicate that if anything it seems to make people more patriotic.
But what do I know? Trump and Hegseth are the experts, after all. And such experts!

Despite the bombs and fully functioning domestic political repression apparatus still firmly in place, people continue to manage and feed their families. When the food becomes scarce and children start going hungry, the masses will take to the streets. That is the way virtually of all revolutions.

Yes and it’s called fanaticism. Stems from adhering to what is errantly believed to be a creed of absolute truth, religious or secular, the choice is yours to pick and, comes in all shapes, sizes and models.

Like Trump, Iran’s new supreme leader is a real estate mogul, with a house on ‘Billionaires’ Row,’ a villa in Dubai, and upscale European hotels
But before the conflict, he largely kept a low profile while accumulating assets around the world. A Bloomberg investigation in January found Khamenei has avoided putting investments in his own name, but they totaled more than $138 million.
That includes Swiss bank accounts as well as luxury properties. Among his holdings in several of London’s ritziest neighborhoods is a house on “Billionaires’ Row.” Sources told Bloomberg Khamenei’s real estate empire also boasts a villa in the “Beverly Hills of Dubai” and upscale European hotels.
