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 had 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 has not been able to review the email.

A Pentagon spokesperson did not comment on the email's existence, but said it would "ensure that the president has credible options to ensure that our allies are no longer a paper tiger and instead do their part".
