3:22Now PlayingThe UK-US special relationship appears to be under strain after US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth slammed "traditional allies" for not supporting Donald Trump.
Sky's Mark Stone says the United States is "very angry" with the UK over its refusal to allow the US to use its air bases to attack Iran.
Sir Keir Starmer initially turned down a US request to use British bases for its campaign against Iran as it determined what Trump was planning was not legal under international law. But on Sunday, the PM said the nature of the request, and therefore the answer, had changed.
