3:53Now PlayingThe British government faces intensifying scrutiny over the 2025 Chagos Islands sovereignty transfer as Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge accused Defence Secretary John Healey of misleading Parliament regarding the urgency of legal threats to the Diego Garcia military base. Cartlidge alleged that Healey’s claim of being "weeks away" from adverse rulings was factually incorrect, citing Article 298 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which allows for military activity exemptions in international disputes. The row develops amid heightened geopolitical tensions, as President Donald Trump and NATO allies monitor the strategic security of the Indian Ocean hub, particularly following reports that the UK restricted US use of the base for potential strikes against Iran. While Prime Minister Keir Starmer maintains the £30 billion, 99-year lease deal with Mauritius is essential to secure the facility against Chinese influence and regional instability, opposition lawmakers demand full accountability and the publication of the legal advice used to justify the territorial handover.
