Donald Trump’s call for Iran to surrender in its escalating conflict with Israel dominates Wednesday’s papers. The Financial Times reports that Trump’s patience is “wearing thin” as he leaves the door open for the US to join the conflict.
The i focuses on the US president’s warning to Iran’s supreme leader, saying “we are not going to kill him, at least not for now”. Trump also said he is aware of the location of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The Times also highlights Trump’s message to Iran’s supreme leader, quoting the president describing him an “easy target”.
The Daily Telegraph says Trump is “‘poised to join war on Iran”. Also featured prominently is the news the UK government is set to delay the opening of the remaining leg of HS2.
The Daily Mail says the US is assembling an “armada of warships” in the region ahead of possible military action.
The Sun also headlines on “Trump’s armada” and warns the US and Iran now stand “on the brink” of war.
The Guardian says Israel’s war with Iran is heading for a “pivotal moment” as the US weighs up whether to get directly involved.
The Daily Express continues to lead its coverage with Baroness Louse Casey’s audit into grooming gangs.
The Daily Mirror follows with a plea from a grooming gang victim for other survivors to “come forward” and help bring perpetrators to justice.
Metro leads with health warnings issued for England as temperatures head towards 33C in some places on Sunday.
The Daily Star also features Donald Trump on its front page – though in a very different story. It quotes singer Rod Stewart, who said in a recent interview that he no longer attends his former’s neighbours parties because Trump “became another guy” when he was elected.
