Donald Trump has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to either strike a deal or reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He warned of severe consequences if no agreement is reached, emphasising that “time is running out” before action will be taken.
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.

Thursday’s front pages continue to be dominated by the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. Electronic pagers across Lebanon exploded simultaneously on Sept. 17, 2024, killing 12 and wounding more than 2,700. The following day, another wave of explosions in the country came from detonating walkie-talkies. The attacks appeared to target members of the militant group Hezbollah.
Israel has yet to comment on the attack but on Wednesday Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declared that the conflict had entered “a new phase.”
The ‘new phase’ comment is picked up by several of the broadsheets, whilst a handful of the tabloids report the Middle East is ‘on the brink’. Many of the papers look ahead at whether the latest developments will lead to a widening of the war – Lebanon is expected to retaliate.
