00:00War was hours away, and Britain made a shocking call.
00:03Just before the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran,
00:06Britain's defense chief reportedly said something explosive behind closed doors.
00:11Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton allegedly told the National Security Council,
00:15We don't need the carrier.
00:17We don't need the Navy.
00:18We already have one.
00:20It's called Cyprus.
00:21The 322-billion-pound aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales stayed home.
00:27Instead, Britain relied on RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus to launch jets if needed.
00:32But inside No-10, tensions were rising.
00:35Sources claim the prime minister was left very, very cheesed off.
00:39Some insiders even say the defense chief has lost the confidence of Downing Street.
00:44The government denies it.
00:46They say sending a carrier for symbolism was unnecessary and too costly.
00:50Meanwhile, Iran struck near RAF Akrotiri.
00:53Donald Trump called Sir Keir Starmer a loser.
00:56And critics accused the prime minister of being too slow to act.
01:00So is the strategic restraint.
01:02Or a dangerous gamble?
01:04Because in global politics, timing is everything.
01:07And sometimes, not moving makes the loudest statement of all.
01:10And it's just a beautiful thing.
01:10And I think when we encourage people to act.
01:10And we're doing it well.
