WMD intercept exercise set to begin in the Gulf.
War games designed to intercept ships carrying weapons of mass destruction will take place for the first time today in the Gulf opposite Iran.Please - no slip ups. No mistakes. No inadvertent firing on an Iranian ship.
The naval exercise – organised under the US’s 2003 Proliferation Security Initiative – will include Bahrain, one of the regional states and host to a US naval base.
Although the US says the move is not specifically aimed at Iran, the PSI exercise comes amid heightened concerns over Tehran’s nuclear programme.
Unless we want to provoke something.
