The UK approves the use of its bases for the US to launch strikes on Iranian sites targeting the Strait of Hormuz

The UK's decision on the bases has been a "very late response", Donald Trump says, after he previously called Nato allies "cowards", for being reluctant to help open the vital shipping lane which transports around 20% of the world's oil
Energy fears have kept oil prices high, hovering around $109 a barrel; the head of the International Energy Agency tells the BBC the world faces the "greatest global energy security challenge in history"
