A couple of subs with Tomahawks, a Carrier with Harriers, and with their elite para's? If the Brits should so choose to pursue, and they should... They would certainly get their attention.

They could put a pretty good battle group together Aircraft Carriers Destroyers, Frigates, Submarines and Auxiliaries, Assault ships
Naval Force projection in itself isn't enough on it's own, you still have to have boots on the ground and Iran is a very big place with its installations well spread out

The British navy has been in a free fall for awhile. There are complaints that Norway now has a larger navy.
Here is a listing of their major vessels.

Better than the French and Germans. Britain has enough paratroops to drop in and whip the Iranians cowardly asses. DO IT!
