The ongoing US-Israel conflict with Iran is intensifying economic and political tensions in the UK. Consumer confidence has hit a two-year low, with rising food and fuel costs predicted, while the government warns of an eight-month fallout. Public unrest concerns are also increasing amid fears of prolonged economic instability.

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin, who was set to be nominated, accused Sinn Féin and other opposition TDs (MPs) of orchestrating the disruption. He called the delay ‘premeditated, coordinated, and choreographed.’

On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump claimed his efforts to resolve the conflict would be a “very big favor” to Russia and its president. He previously vowed to negotiate a settlement to the war, which began in 2014 and escalated with Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, within a single day.
