Trump spars with Starmer over UK bases for Iran strikes
TL;DR Summary
President Trump attacked UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for denying initial US access to British bases for strikes on Iran, calling him 'not Winston Churchill.' The UK had refused Diego Garcia but later allowed US access to bases for defensive strikes on Iranian missile sites; London says it will not back regime change from the air, while continuing to cooperate with the US, and the Royal Navy dispatched HMS Dragon to Cyprus after drone attacks.
