On Sitrep podcast this week: UK military contingency plans for Iran-Israel conflict

The Royal Air Force has been moved to the Middle East for "contingency support", but what could those contingencies end up being?

Professor Michael Clarke, a former director general of think-tank Rusi, is the resident expert on BFBS Forces News' Sitrep Podcast – which analyses the top defence stories of the week and is available wherever you get your podcasts.

Prof Clarke has mapped out the British military presence in the region, which could come under threat from Iran in a worst-case scenario.

Meanwhile, Lord Peter Ricketts, who led many a crisis meeting as National Security Adviser, also explains how and why the UK is making military plans even as it calls for de-escalation.

And a former Deputy Commander of RAF Operations, Air Marshal Greg Bagwell, has told BFBS Sitrep how British aircraft could be used in the Middle East, and in what situations that might happen.
