UK provides support to U.S. seizure of Bella 1 accused of shadow fleet activities and Iran sanctions breaches

[wisdom01]

UK armed forces provided pre-planned operational support, including basing, to U.S. military assets interdicting the Bella 1 between the UK and Iceland following a U.S. request for assistance. RFA Tideforce is providing support for U.S. forces pursuing and interdicting the Bella 1, while the RAF provided surveillance support from the air.

The UK and U.S. defence and security relationship is the deepest in the world and the UK provided enabling support in full compliance with international law

Great that the UK is cooperating with other democratic world powers with a view to fighting lawlessness across the globe.
