Monday’s front pages are dominated by the latest from the crisis in the Middle East as Iran and Israel enter the fourth day of cross-border strikes after Israel launched an unprovoked attack on Iran.

The G7 summit starts today and the current crisis will be at the top of the agenda. There are reports on the front pages that the USA is prepared to join the attacks if Americans are targeted but otherwise, neither the US, UK or any other major Western nation is joining Israel in its attack.

The tabloids use sensationalised reporting, prompting fears that an all-out war is on the brink, whilst the broadsheets have a much more measured tone in their reporting.

Monday’s front pages report on the prime minister’s announcement of an inquiry into grooming gangs – after previously ruling out such a move.

It’s a hot topic for the UK tabloids who have been demanding a national inquiry for months and months.

Sir Keir Starmer said he had accepted the recommendations of an audit by Baroness Louise Casey into the data and evidence on the nature and scale of group-based child sexual abuse.

Baroness Casey has recommended a national inquiry is required, he said. The inquiry will cover England and Wales.
For months, Sir Keir has faced criticism for not being willing to set one up.

Monday’s news is dominated by the latest in the Middle East and the upcoming G7 summit. The G7 summit is to start today, with world leaders arriving in Canada at a time of high tension and political chaos. The summit will focus on de-escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, the US tariff war and the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Tehran perceives its recent rocket strikes on Israel as “effective”, resulting in at least five fatalities in central Israeli cities including Tel Aviv and Bnei Brak.

President Trump has rejected an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—a proposal reportedly vetoed after he asked, “Have the Iranians killed an American yet?”.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has launched a diplomatic campaign in Canada ahead of the G7 summit, urging global leaders—including Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron—to defuse rising tensions between Israel and Iran.

The 51st G7 Summit kicked off on 16–17 June 2025 in Alberta, hosted by Canadian PM Mark Carney, marking Canada’s second summit here since 2002. 

Monday’s front pages are dominated by several stories – all political. The papers report on the announcement that an inquiry into grooming gangs will be launched. It comes after the prime minister had originally ruled out an inquiry. The papers call for him to apologise. Elsewhere, the G7 summit in Canada and the cross-border strikes between Israel and Iran dominate the headlines – in print and online.

The G7 summit in Kananaskis, Canada, is primarily focused on the Israel-Iran conflict, with leaders seeking de-escalation amidst ongoing global crises.
