UK Denies Trump Use of RAF Bases for Iran Attack
The US president has recently attacked an agreement to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius and lease back the Diego Garcia base, calling it “a big mistake.” This reversal of previous support is reportedly linked to the UK’s refusal to permit the use of Diego Garcia or RAF Fairford for a potential military campaign against Iran, citing concerns over international law. Despite this, the UK government insists the deal is crucial for national security and will proceed with legislation.
