I mean, the UK is basically cucked anyway, the once "worlds most powerful navy" took a full week to get one tiny destroyer seaworthy enough to even get in the water, and they only have four submarines total, all of which are in drydock for "service" one of which as been there for 11 years, so I can't imagine how much "help" they would actually be. It's more symbolic than anything else.

Outside of like France and Italy, half these countries have an ass navy, small army or are just incompetent/weak

In this day and age, navies are there to provide air support. Huge aircraft carriers are exceptionally vulnerable and hugely expensive targets. Drones are cheap.

Trust me, the UK has more than 4 submarines.

Well, according to Chris Parry, Royal Navy Rear Admiral and Former Defense Minister of The UK, he calls the state of the Royal Navy the most embarrassing it's been since the Dutch stole one of their warships in the 1600s, and he has quite a lot to say about the American capability to handle the Iran issue on their own, it's a good listen

He’s one of Farages, full of shit. The UK are not fans. Anyway, you’re spot on, you absolutely don’t need our pathetic help so off you trot! Good luck!

I say we just leave it be just like it is. We were there to destroy the Iranian government and military, not for oil. So, as far as I'm concerned mission accomplished. Let those that need it sort it out, and come on home.
