Keir Starmer stands firm against US pressure over the Iran conflict, refusing to commit British warships to the Strait of Hormuz. This principled stance has garnered a significant approval boost amid rising tensions. Starmer must maintain this resolve for the upcoming challenges ahead.
Thousands of American paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division are deploying to the Middle East as Donald Trump threatens to strike Iran’s critical infrastructure. The heightened US military presence now totals 50,000 troops. Detailed discussions are expected to follow.
The US threatens to destroy Iran’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened. President Donald Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum as global energy prices soar due to the strait’s closure. Swift action is crucial, as the deadline approaches shortly after midnight on Monday.
Most of Thursday’s front pages lead on the prime minister’s upcoming trip to Washington where he is set to double down on his declaration that negotiations over Ukraine should involve Ukraine. He will also tell the president of the US that Russia will strike Ukraine again unless the US provides ongoing security support.
The back pages are dominated by last night’s Premier League action as Liverpool go 13 points clear at the top of the table, Manchester United fought back to beat Ipswich, Manchester City beat Spurs 1-0 and Arsenal’s stalemate seems them at risk of slipping out the top four. The Lionesses beat Spain 1-0 at Wembley in last night’s Nations League.
