Trump disappointed with UK PM for blocking use of Diego Garcia base to strike Iran

After Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the UK has agreed to the US’s request to use British military bases for “defensive" strikes on Iranian missile sites.

BBC quoted the PM saying the UK had learned lessons from the “mistakes of Iraq", and was not involved in the initial strikes on Iran and “will not join offensive action now".

This comes after US Donald Trump said that he was “very disappointed" with Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s initial refusal to allow Washington to use British military bases for defensive strikes against Iran.
