Iran's attack on Israel has fueled a flashpoint of conflict in the Middle East. Britain is planning a huge evacuation operation – codename: “Operation Meteoric” The Royal Marines plan to take out the British living there “Dunkirk style” In Britain, the evacuation plans are being compared to ‘Operation Dynamo,’ the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers from Dunkirk in 1940 after they were surrounded by German Wehrmacht forces.
In addition to the Green Berets, the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force are said to be involved. Typhoon jets are still available in Cyprus to cover the action. The British have already sent additional fighter jets to the region after the attacks. “These jets will intercept any air attacks within the range of our existing missions if necessary,” said Defense Secretary Shapps. The scale of the Iranian attack is enormous: a total of more than 300 missiles were said to have been intercepted over Israel. These included drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles.
