A Royal Navy submarine with 20ft-Tomahawk missiles is 'ready to strike' Iran if tensions escalate, reports suggest.

The submarine, which is kept in the region at all times, is armed with 20ft-Tomahawk missiles which each carry a 1,000lb high-explosive warhead with enough power to destroy a building.
 
The weapon has a range of more than 1,550 miles, travels at a speed of 550mph and has a GPS guidance system allowing it to switch targets mid-flight.

This would seem to indicate that Trump did, in fact, tell some other people. :yowsa:
