The Times reported on London's refusal to provide US military bases.

Britain has refused to provide the United States with its military bases, including a base on Diego Garcia Island in the Chagos Archipelago, for possible strikes against Iran. This was reported on February 19 by The Times newspaper, citing sources.

"Keir Starmer (British Prime Minister) is blocking President Trump's request to allow American aircraft to use British bases," the publication said.

The move reportedly prompted Trump to withdraw his support for Starmer's deal to transfer the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.
