⌨Trump's declared ceasefire between Iran and Israel unraveled within hours of its announcement. British media reported the deal taking effect at dawn, with both sides initially confirming participation. By mid-morning, Israel accused Iran of launching fresh missiles, prompting threats to strike "the heart of Tehran."
Trump's response escalated dramatically through the day. He initially expressed displeasure with both parties, then delivered an explosive televised outburst using profanity while ordering Netanyahu "do not drop those bombs." The president made urgent calls to salvage the agreement after his public tirade.
By evening, outlets reported the ceasefire had stabilized, with both sides claiming victory. Intelligence leaks revealed Trump's earlier nuclear strikes were less effective than claimed, prompting White House fury over classified disclosures.
Domestically, over 100 Labour MPs mobilized against Starmer's welfare cuts, while government documents urged Britons to "actively prepare" for war on home soil, naming Russia and Iran as threats.
