  • Operation Kipion: Royal Navy Assets in the Persian by Claire Mills Gulf
    BRIEFING PAPER Number 8628, 6 January 2020 Operation Kipion: Royal Navy assets in the Persian By Claire Mills Gulf 1. Historical presence: the Armilla Patrol The UK has maintained a permanent naval presence in the Gulf region since October 1980, when the Armilla Patrol was established to ensure the safety of British entitled merchant ships operating in the region during the Iran-Iraq conflict. Initially the Royal Navy’s presence was focused solely in the Gulf of Oman. However, as the conflict wore on both nations began attacking each other’s oil facilities and oil tankers bound for their respective ports, in what became known as the “tanker war” (1984-1988). Kuwaiti vessels carrying Iraqi oil were particularly susceptible to Iranian attack and foreign-flagged merchant vessels were often caught in the crossfire.1 In response to a number of incidents involving British registered vessels, in October 1986 the Royal Navy began accompanying British-registered vessels through the Straits of Hormuz and in the Persian Gulf. Later the UK’s Armilla Patrol contributed to the Multinational Interception Force (MIF), a naval contingent patrolling the Persian Gulf to enforce the UN-mandated trade embargo against Iraq, imposed after its invasion of Kuwait in August1990.2 In the aftermath of the 2003 Iraq conflict, Royal Navy vessels, deployed as part of the Armilla Patrol, were heavily committed to providing maritime security in the region, the protection of Iraq’s oil infrastructure and to assisting in the training of Iraqi sailors and marines. 1.1 Assets The Type 42 destroyer HMS Coventry was the first vessel to be deployed as part of the Armilla Patrol, followed by RFA Olwen.

Action by the meeting is at paragraph 3. REFERENCES - ANSIG/2 Report - MIDANPIRG/15 Report - MIDRMA Board/14 Report - MID RVSM SMR 2014 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Middle East Regional Monitoring Agency presents the MID RVSM Safety Monitoring Report (SMR) to the Middle East Air Navigation Planning and Implementation Regional Group (MIDANPIRG) for endorsement. 1.2 The MID SMR 2015 (Ver. 1.0) was calculated for 12 FIRs in the ICAO Middle East Region. Tripoli and Sanaa FIRs were excluded from the RVSM safety analysis due to the non-submission of the required traffic data and LHD reports for more than two years. 1.3 The results present evidence that the key safety objectives, as set out in the MID RVSM safety policy in accordance with ICAO Doc 9574 (2nd Edition), continue to be met in the Middle East RVSM airspace except for the FIRs mentioned in 1.2. 2. DISCUSSION 2.1 Further to the outcome of MIDANPIRG/15 meeting Conclusion 15/8 concerning the development of the MID RVSM SMR 2015, the Traffic Data Sample (TDS) required for the safety analysis must be collected from 01 September 2015 until 30th September 2015 for all traffic operating within the ICAO Middle East RVSM airspace and must be submitted to the MIDRMA not later than 31 October 2015.

Key US activities in the region consist of weapons sales to allied governments, military-to-military training programmes, counterterrorism operations and long-term troop deployments. • The US military presence in the Middle East is the culmination of a common bargain with Middle Eastern governments: security cooperation and military assistance in exchange for US access to military bases in the region. As a result, the US has substantial influence in the Middle East and can project military power quickly. However, working with partners whose interests sometimes conflict with one another has occasionally harmed long-term US objectives. • Since 1980, when President Carter remarked that outside intervention in the interests of the US in the Middle East would be ‘repelled by any means necessary’, the US has maintained a permanent and significant military presence in the region. • Two main schools of thought – ‘offshore balancing’ and ‘forward engagement’ – characterize the debate over the US presence in the Middle East.
