Description

RAF planes have been moved to the Middle East for ‘contingency support’, but what could those contingencies end up being?

Professor Michael Clarke maps out the British military presence in the region, which could come under threat from Iran in a worst-case scenario.

Lord Peter Ricketts, who led many a crisis meeting as National Security Adviser, explains how and why the UK is making military plans even as it calls for de-escalation.

And a former Deputy Commander of RAF Operations, Air Marshal Greg Bagwell, tells us how those British aircraft could be used, and in what situations that might happen.
