Despite the protests of the UN, and their NATO allies, the United States chose to unilaterally conduct air strikes in Iran to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities.
Some of those air strikes vaporized large quantities of radioactive material into the atmosphere and groundwater. The result may be an ecological and civil disaster many orders of magnitude worse then Chernobyl.
The European countries of France, Spain, and Italy have protested to the UN that the United States can no longer enact its will on the rest of the world and must be punished for its actions. They requested sanctions against the US in the UN, but were unable to get the votes needed, with the UK (siding with the US) being the deciding vote.
France, Spain, and Italy have now decided to conduct their own form of sanctions and have announced that no US-flagged traffic may pass through the Med.
Spanish commandos seized the UK base at Gibraltar without firing a shot. The small British force that was present left the area open because they were unsure of what posture to take against traditional allies.
Spanish and Italian naval units have already boarded and re-directed merchant vessels traveling under the US flag.
British and US units are scrambling to protect the merchant vessels already at sea and to secure a defense of Malta as their only remaining foothold in the theater.
Designer's Note: I admit, the political scenario is far fetched, but I wanted to create particular matchups in this and subsequent scenarios. In this case, I was trying to create a two on two "Harrier Carrier" battle that is realistic, but evenly matched. This also has a fun matchup between F-16s and EF2000's.
