Last British warship leaves the Middle East

Iran is engulfed in protests that could finally overturn the Iranian Revolution. President Trump’s Board of Peace promises to rewrite the rules for the entire Middle East. And Britain’s Royal Navy is nowhere to be seen. The minesweeper hms Middleton, Britain’s only vessel in the region, is now set to return home. Former First Sea Lord Adm. Lord Alan West warned that Britain’s absence from the Persian Gulf “is a terrible error.” It is the latest in a series of humiliations for the Royal Navy. Britain’s poor decision-making, lack of will and the curses hitting the nation are leaving it vulnerable.
