10:50Now PlayingSir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump have spoken for the first time since the US president angrily criticised the UK's Iran response.
On Saturday, the US president said the UK was considering sending aircraft carriers to the Middle East but dismissed the prospect, writing on social media "we don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!" - while labelling Britain "our once great ally".
Sir Keir has previously said the UK would not join offensive actions, but agreed to let the US use British bases for defensive strikes on Iranian missile sites.
Meanwhile, a member of Iran's Assembly of Experts says it has reached a consensus on who wil replace Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, but some "obstacles" remain in the appointment.
