《泰晤士报》的一份报告称，美国正在制定计划，使用英国皇家空军费尔福德基地（RAF Fairford），该基地是美国在欧洲重型轰炸机机队的所在地。
据报道，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周二与英国首相基尔·斯塔默（Keir Starmer）就这些计划进行了交谈。《泰晤士报》称，英国官员据担心，允许美国使用皇家空军基地进行军事袭击可能会违反国际法。

“如果伊朗决定不达成协议，美国可能有必要使用迪戈加西亚岛和位于费尔福德的机场，以消除一个高度不稳定且危险的政权可能发动的袭击，”特朗普星期三在Truth Social上写道。
“这可能会对英国以及其他友好国家发动袭击。我们将永远准备好、愿意并能够为英国而战，但他们必须在面对‘觉醒文化’（Wokeism）和其他摆在他们面前的问题时保持强硬。”
特朗普一直敦促德黑兰就其核计划与美国达成协议。
“特朗普总统的第一本能始终是外交，他一直明确表示伊朗政权应该达成协议，”一位白宫官员告诉福克斯新闻数字版。“当然，总统最终可以使用所有选择，他在‘午夜锤子行动’和‘绝对决心行动’中证明了他言出必行。”
南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆（Lindsey Graham）表示，使用英国军事基地对伊朗发动袭击是“发动攻击的必要条件——这将非常令人惊讶”。
“归根结底，地球上最大的国家支持恐怖主义者是最虚弱的，因为伊朗人民已经有数以百万计的人起来反抗压迫，美国和以色列已经对该政权的军事基础设施给予了毁灭性打击，”格雷厄姆在X平台（原推特）上写道。
“致我在英国的朋友们，坐视不理会让你们站在历史的错误一边，这再次证明了我们在整个欧洲的联盟已经退化到了什么程度。”

星期四，特朗普告诉记者，伊朗最多有15天时间达成协议，否则“对他们来说将是不幸的”。
华盛顿和英国在使用英国空军基地的问题上存在裂痕。据《泰晤士报》报道，根据与华盛顿长期协议的条款，这些基地只能用于事先与政府商定的针对第三国的军事行动。
星期三，特朗普撤回了对斯塔默将查戈斯群岛移交给毛里求斯的协议的支持。然而，该协议将允许英国保留对迪戈加西亚岛及其具有战略重要性的空军基地的控制权。
“我们与英国的关系是牢固而强大的，多年来一直如此，但斯塔默首相正因从未听说过的实体的索赔而失去对这个重要岛屿的控制权。在我们看来，这些索赔本质上是虚构的，”特朗普星期三写道。

“斯塔默首相不应出于任何原因，通过进入一个最多100年的脆弱租约而失去对迪戈加西亚岛的控制权，”他补充道。“这片土地不应该从英国夺走，如果真的被夺走，那将是我们伟大盟友的一个污点。”

The United Kingdom is blocking the Trump administration from using its military air bases for a possible attack on Iran over concerns that a strike could violate international law.
A report by The Times said the U.S. was drawing up plans to use Royal Air Force base Fairford in England, which is home to America’s fleet of heavy bombers in Europe.
President Donald Trump reportedly spoke with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Tuesday about the plans. U.K. officials were reportedly worried that giving the United States permission to use the RAF bases for a military attack could breach international law, according to The Times.

“Should Iran decide not to make a Deal, it may be necessary for the United States to use Diego Garcia, and the Airfield located in Fairford, in order to eradicate a potential attack by a highly unstable and dangerous Regime,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Wednesday.
“An attack that would potentially be made on the United Kingdom, as well as other friendly countries. We will always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the U.K., but they have to remain strong in the face of Wokeism, and other problems put before them.”
Trump has pressed for Tehran to make a deal with the U.S. over its nuclear program.
“President Trump’s first instinct is always diplomacy, and he has been clear that the Iranian regime should make a deal,” a White House official told Fox News Digital. “Of course, the President ultimately has all options at his disposal, and he demonstrated with Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Absolute Resolve that he means what he says.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said the use of British military bases against Iran is a “necessity for an attack — it would be beyond surprising.”
“The bottom line is the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet is the weakest it’s been because the people of Iran have risen up by the millions to end their oppression and the United States and Israel have delivered crushing blows to the regime’s military infrastructure,” Graham wrote on X.
“To my friends in Britain, sitting this one out puts you on the wrong side of history and is yet another example of how much our alliances throughout Europe have degraded.”

On Thursday, Trump told reporters Iran has a maximum of 15 days to make a deal or “it’s going to be unfortunate for them.”
Washington and Britain have been in a rift over the use of Britain’s air bases. Under the terms of long-standing agreements with Washington, the bases can only be used for military operations against third countries that have been agreed in advance with the government, according to The Times.
On Wednesday, Trump withdrew his support for Starmer’s deal to hand the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. However, a deal would allow the U.K. to keep control of Diego Garcia and its strategically important air base.
“Our relationship with the United Kingdom is a strong and powerful one, and it has been for many years, but Prime Minister Starmer is losing control of this important island by claims of entities never known of before. In our opinion, they are fictitious in nature,” Trump wrote Wednesday.

“Prime Minister Starmer should not lose control, for any reason, of Diego Garcia, by entering a tenuous, at best, 100-year lease,” he added. “This land should not be taken away from the UK and, if it is allowed to be, it will be a blight on our great ally.”
The U.S. uses Diego Garcia for bombers operating in the Middle East and Asia.
