Middle East Ablaze: America's New War – Sunday 1 March 2026
The newspaper's front page details escalating conflict in the Middle East following US and Israeli strikes on Iran, prompting Iranian retaliation. A striking image captures a Dubai hotel engulfed in flames, underscoring the immediate impact of Iran's counter-strikes. Another depicts multiple explosions over a city, representing the US and Israeli actions against Tehran. Pictured prominently are Ayatollah Khamenei, whose death in an airstrike is reported, and US President Donald Trump, who declared a "major combat operation" to "obliterate" the Iranian regime. Inside the paper, reports confirm sirens sounding in Israel and global travel chaos with airport hubs shut. British jets are engaged in defensive operations to protect allies, a stance clarified by Keir Starmer, indicating the UK's non-involvement in the initial attacks while monitoring the rapidly evolving situation.
