Reports that Russia is providing Iran with intelligence to strike American military targets in the Middle East is the Telegraph’s, external<\/a> lead. The paper says the information has led to attacks by Iranian missiles and drones against US radar facilities, warships and aircraft. American officials are said to believe Moscow began to give the Islamic Republic information on the positions of US forces, as soon as the war began. The Telegraph also reports that the cancellation of a major training exercise for elite paratroopers in the US on Friday has prompted speculation that President Donald Trump is preparing to put boots on the ground in Iran.<\/p>\n

The Times, external<\/a> says it understands that the UK is likely to join the strikes only if there is an escalation, such as an attack killing British troops or civilians, or new intelligence pointing to an Iranian plot. The i Paper , external<\/a>says its own poll shows almost half the people it asked back Sir Keir Starmer’s decision to limit UK involvement in the attacks, with only one in five supporting Britain joining in. But writing in his column in the Mail, external<\/a>, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that by sitting on the sidelines Sir Keir had made Britain “not merely a laughing stock” but a “piffling irrelevance”.<\/p>\n

Many of the papers carry the striking photo of Trump surrounded by Christian leaders in the Oval Office who had joined him for a “prayer breakfast”. The Times, external<\/a> reports that a pastor “invoked God to protect US troops, and give the president wisdom”.<\/p>\n

Newly released Jeffrey Epstein files revealing that the FBI questioned a woman who alleged Trump sexually assaulted her as a girl is the lead in the Mirror, external<\/a>. The paper says in the latest memos, the alleged victim claimed Trump “struck her” after she bit him. It quotes the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt as saying that the claims were “totally baseless”.<\/p>\n

And the Express, external<\/a> leads with a plea from the Queen for children to put down their phones and pick up a book. She was speaking at the final of the BBC’s 500 words writing competition for children, and told those who’d been invited to the reception at Windsor Castle that reading and writing would “take you on adventures all over the world”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reports that Russia is providing Iran with intelligence to strike American military targets in the Middle East is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":462085,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-462084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=462084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/462085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=462084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=462084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=462084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
