Sovereignty of the Falkland Islands "rests with the UK", Downing Street has said, following a report the US could review its position on Britain's claim to the territory.
An internal Pentagon email reported by Reuters suggested the US was considering options to punish Nato allies it believed failed to support its war on Iran.
The options discussed also included seeking Spain’s suspension from Nato over its opposition to the war.
BBC News, which has not been able to review the document, has contacted the Pentagon about it.
