Well a few weeks in, this Middle East War is far from over although it seemed to be short action at the start instigated by the United States and Israel.
It's seen the relationship between Prime Minister Starmer and President Trump tested with the latter issuing numerous petulant often less than true statements not helped by so many aircraft carriers and other vessels being in for repairs and not being deployed as UK bases are under threat.
Unbelievable given noises around action had been about for awhile raising the ire of the Cypriot Consulate with good reason as having a base there place a threat from Iran and it is part of that islands security.
The deputy prime minister even said Cyprus is a NATO member which is just not true.
The conflict has spread from the U.S. and Israel attacking Iran with retaliatory action, Iranian proxies in the Lebanon attack Israel which has resulted in extensive bombing and troop occupying parts and other states in the Gulf being attack by Iran.
Shipping is being attacked by Iran too - chiefly oil - raising oil prices with significant impact on World Economies.
We still lack a clear case for the U.S. involvement with ever changing explanations.
It just seems very ill thought throw to me.
