THE knock-on effects from the Epstein file revelations – the exposure of Mandelson and Mountbatten-Windsor, the resignation of Morgan McSweeney – and the resetting of Trump’s global tariffs, are providing a lot of froth disguising the very real and imminent threat to peace from the US military build-up in the Mediterranean and Middle East over Iran.

According to reports in Al Jazeera and Times Now News, that deployment consists of two aircraft carrier groups, including over 160 F-35 and F/A-18E/F fighter jets and six cruise missile-loaded destroyers.

This will not be a short conflict. As one military expert has pointed out on X, the range of hardware assembled suggests ongoing air strikes on Iran supported by specialist F-16s to “take out” Iran’s defences, F-22 stealth fighters for air control and F-15E squadrons adding firepower.

And this conflict could easily spin out of control, into a regional or even global war, especially if Iran responds by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 per cent of the world’s crude oil is transported.
