Britain blocks Trump's demand for access to UK air bases in potential Iranian strike

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has blocked a request from US President Donald Trump to allow US forces to use UK air bases during any preemptive attack on Iran, saying it could break international law and pose risks to British citizens. The decision comes after Trump reportedly asked the UK to allow US forces to use its air bases in case of an Iranian threat. Starmer's refusal was seen as a significant rebuke from the British government to Trump's assertive foreign policy stance. The move is likely to further strain already tense relations between the two countries.
