According to a British diplomat who spoke to an Al-Siyasa correspondent, Turkey
will not repeat the mistake it made in 2003, when it refused to open its
airspace to U.S. Air Force overflights en route to attacking Iraq.
Why a British diplomat would make such a comment when The Poodle has said:
"There is, as far as I know, no planning going on to make an attack on Iran and
people are pursuing a diplomatic and political solution... because it's the only
solution that anyone can think of that is viable and sensible."
But then again you have to wonder why the "UK doubles naval presence in Persian Gulf".
Britain’s senior naval officer in the Persian Gulf has revealed that Royal
Navy deployments in the region have doubled since October in a build-up that
matches the rapid escalation of American maritime firepower.

Cdre Winstanley said there was a message for Iran in the expansion of the
coalition fleet in the waters of the Persian Gulf, Sea of Oman and Arabian
Sea.
However, it looks like they will be there for a very long time
Commitments include protecting Iraq’s southern oil terminals against attack
until the Iraqi navy can prove its competence to ensuring the six miles of
shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz remain open.
