British commanders told the Daily Mirror that there are plans to act against terrorist groups of pro-Iranian organizations, and that their special forces are in the Middle East. According to the report, Israeli intelligence located the place from which the UAV attack on the ship was allegedly carried out last week.

It was also reported that Britain was considering carrying out a cyber attack on Iranian territories, in response to the bombing of the ship off the coast of Oman, in which a British citizen and a Romanian citizen were killed.
