Iran

Donald Trump is betting that US airstrikes have effectively destroyed Iranian nuclear sites, despite military officials suggesting full destruction is unlikely and that the strikes may only set back Iran’s programme.

Several of Friday’s UK front pages lead with Donald Trump’s announcement that he will wait two weeks before deciding on whether the United States military will enter the Israeli war in Iran. It allows room for discussions between the West and Iran as European leaders met with their Iranian counterparts to discuss nuclear weapons.

Trump wants Iran to get back to the negotiating table regarding their nuclear weapons programme, with the ultimatum that Iran needs to completely abandon its nuclear programme or face the might of the US military.
