UK refuses to let the US use its bases for strikes on Iran: Report

> The UK has not agreed on the US using its air force bases for possible military strikes on Iran which in turn prompted President Donald Trump to withdraw his support for the former’s deal to hand over the Chagos Island to Mauritius, British daily The Times reported on Thursday.

> “The White House is drawing up detailed military plans for a strike against Iran involving the use of both Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, which is home to America’s fleet of heavy bombers in Europe,” the report said.
