Britain prepares aircraft carrier as Middle East conflict escalates

Israel and America are intensifying military operations in the Middle East, with a massive fire reported at an Iranian oil refinery and the US President pledging strikes on previously safe Iranian targets. Britain is preparing the HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier for potential deployment within five days, alongside guided missile destroyers and additional fighter jets, as drone strikes target British military bases in Cyprus. Iran's leader has apologised to neighbouring countries, though drone attacks continue in Qatar and the UAE, with reports suggesting a new Iranian supreme leader could be selected within 24 hours.
