US Nuclear Submarine USS Alaska Docks at Gibraltar on May 10 Amid Iran Tensions

According to the Daily Star, USS Alaska, a nuclear-armed US submarine, docked at Gibraltar on May 10. War expert Professor Anthony Glees told the outlet the deployment poses a risk to the UK, stating it is part of Trump’s strategy to “intimidate” Iranian leadership. Glees noted that the choice of USS Alaska—one of 71 US nuclear-powered submarines—signals intent to threaten Iran, though he expressed skepticism that such posturing would achieve diplomatic results.
