Watch the remarkable
'at sea' resupply of a US aircraft carrier… as Trump & Iran both signal further escalation.
‘At sea’ because the US no longer has any friendly / viable ports in the Middle East - huge unintended shift.
We got rare, remarkable access including to the ship’s magazines where the weapons are stored.

Iran has threatened the US with 'appropriate' response if they target energy facilities - while Tehran continues to target shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
@Stone_SkyNews is on the USS George Washington in the Arabian Sea, which is the main tool used by the US to strike Iran.

Our US correspondent @Stone_SkyNews is on board the USS George Washington - getting rare access to the operation to protect ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS.
Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX. Usage of Starlink is limited to civilian or defensive activities and cannot be used for offensive military action, as doing so would be inappropriate for a commercial company.
I thank His Majesty King Charles III for the audience. It is important for me to have the opportunity to personally thank him for his unwavering support for Ukraine. We appreciate all the assistance provided by the United Kingdom.

The U.S. may have intentionally withheld early warnings this week of Russian strikes on Ukraine, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News. https://t.co/uBOCUqxUUy
"The amount of fuel Russia could export is too small, the impact on pricing too slight, the narrative too late to shape electoral outcomes: This looks, instead, like something very different: an abrupt, Hail Mary attempt to force Ukraine to surrender"
