Even though Iran and Israel continue to hold on to their end of this fragile ceasefire, however, uncertainity on the fate of war is still unclear. As Donald Trump is extremely unpredictable in his mode of operations, if he decides to attack Iran again, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer might consider joining US military against in Iran (to please Donald Trump if nothing else). However, there are concerns that any UK operation may be compromised by the recent Chagos Islands deal.
Last month, the United Kingdom signed a deal with Mauritius to transfer the sovereignty of Chagos Islands. Under the terms of the deal, the UK has leased the Diego Garcia island, for 99 years. The island houses a military base that the UK shares with the United States.
There are concerns among analysts that the UK may be required to inform Mauritius in advance about any military mission launched from the Diego Garcia base. If this would be the case, any mission involving ships or planes at the base would be compromised.
