GB News reports:

Pete Hegseth removes Britain from list of US allies after Keir Starmer's failure to support Iran war

Further down in the report we are informed:

On Tuesday, Britain's Defence Secretary John Healey confirmed the UK would deploy autonomous mine-hunting equipment, anti-drone systems and Typhoon jets to the strait.

The mine-hunting equipment consists of a specially trained shoal of Haddock (aka 'Healey's Haddocks') who basically swim around until they hit a mine when they are all blown to pieces after 'doing their bit' to clear the Strait of Hormuz.

But their lives are not wasted.

The pieces of haddock will be used to supply fish and chips to the crew of HMS Lyme Disease, a supply ship that might make it to the area in a few months - if ever.
