The £3.2bn aircraft carrier HMS "Queen Elizabeth" has reportedly passed the Suez Canal and is heading towards Iran. Capacity for up to 72 aircraft, including a maximum of 36 F-35B fighter jets and various types of helicopters.

Nothing from Parliament but clearly military coalition against Iran is building.

With the lack of a uk border and lack of readiness and security at uk military base's I reckon its the safest place for the vessel to be at sea.

Do you have link to what you wrote..?

I read this.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Iran

I couldn't find any mention of Israel, the west or anty western country.

Here are a few excerpts relating to other religions and foreign policy.

Chapter X [Article 152 to 155]: Foreign policy

edit

Article 152

edit

The foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is based upon the rejection of all forms of domination, both the exertion of it and submission to it, the preservation of the independence of the country in all respects and its territorial integrity, the defence of the rights of all Muslims, non-alignment with respect to the hegemonic superpowers, and the maintenance of mutually peaceful relations with all non-belligerent States.[42][43]

Article 153

edit

Any form of agreement resulting in foreign control over the natural resources, economy, army, or culture of the country, as well as other aspects of the national life, is forbidden.[42][43]

Article 154

edit

The ideal of the Islamic Republic of Iran is independence, justice, truth, and felicity among all people of the world. Accordingly, it supports the just struggles of the Mustad'afun (oppressed) against the Mustakbirun (oppressors) in every corner of the globe.[42][43]

Article 155

edit

The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran may grant political asylum to those who seek it and are worthy of it.[42][43]

Article 13 (Recognized religious minorities)

edit

"Zoroastrian, Jewish, and Christian Iranians are the only recognized religious minorities", who, within the limits of the law, are free to perform their religious rites and ceremonies, and to act according to their own canon in matters of personal affairs and religious education.

Article 14 (Non-Muslims)

edit

"The government ... and all Muslims are duty-bound to treat non-Muslims" with "Islamic justice and equity", provided those non-Muslims "refrain from engaging in conspiracy or activity against Islam and the Islamic Republic of Iran".

RO8 HMS Queen Elizabeth was moored up in Portsmouth Harbour on Thursday morning 19th June 2025 as I sailed passed it.

RO9 HMS Prince of Wales is currently part of a NATO exercise including aircraft.

Perhaps the OP's reported source is confused?

""The government ... and all Muslims are duty-bound to treat non-Muslims" with "Islamic justice and equity", provided those non-Muslims "refrain from engaging in conspiracy or activity against Islam and the Islamic Republic of Iran"."

And who decides what is against the IRI? Of yeah, the guys who keep saying “there will be never ending consequences”. The guys who murder any citizen of their own country that speak against them. The guys who issue death sentences to people who write books. The guys who organise and finance the blowing up of tube stations and buses in London. The guys who would order the murder any LGBTQ+ person on sight. The guys who would have no qualms about blowing up oil tankers in the Persian gulf. Need I go on?

I’m not saying the US is right to just bomb Iranian nuclear sites, but these people need to be prevented from developing nuclear weapons. Despite their words to the contrary, it’s pretty clear that’s what they have been doing.

The carrier on its way to the Far East is the Prince of Wales not the Queen Elizabeth, which was still moored up in Portsmouth last week.
