The nuclear-powered British submarine HMS Anson has arrived in the Arabian Sea, according to a UK tabloid, amid the US threat to escalate its military operations against Iran.
According to the Daily Mail, the submarine left the Australian city of Perth on March 6 and is believed to be taking position in the northern Arabian Sea, an area near the Strait of Hormuz.
HMS Anson is fitted with Tomahawk Block IV land-attack missiles with a range of 1,600km (1,000 miles) and Spearfish heavyweight torpedoes, the report noted.
The arrival of the vessel in the Middle East region also comes as UK PM Keir Starmer agreed to allow the US to use British military bases to launch attacks on Iranian targets.
