'Ceasefire agreed with Iran' and 'war games'
- Published

US President Donald Trump's claim of an agreed ceasefire between Israel and Iran leads The Daily Telegraph. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that the stop to fighting would be "complete and total", although being implemented in increments, starting from 05:00 BST on Tuesday. Also on the Telegraph's front page, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has made a "pledge to spend £40bn on defence", which shadow defence secretary James Cartlidge has called "smoke and mirrors".

Iran's missile strike on US airbases "leaves Middle East on edge", The Guardian writes. The attack in Qatar was a response to the US hitting Iranian nuclear bases. Iranian state media reported that they also launched missiles on Iraq. More details on the conflict are inside the paper as well as the lighter fare of "how Venice rose up against the wedding of Jeff Bezos".

The Times, like most of today's papers, also headlines on Iran's attack, which it describes as "limited". US President Donald Trump thanked the regime for giving "early notice" of the missiles, later saying in a post on Truth Social "congratulations world, it's time for peace". Also on the front page, "millionaires to flee UK in record numbers" with the paper saying "tax increases and falling economic confidence" are to blame.

Iran's strike on Qatar also leads the Financial Times. "Residents heard explosions across Doha" as "air defences intercepted up to 10 missiles", it writes. In other front page news, Germany and Italy face calls "to move their gold out of New York", which the FT says are the result of Trump's "repeated attacks on the US Federal Reserve" and "increased geopolitical turbulence."

The Daily Mail's front page also focuses on the situation in Iran, using the headline "so whose side are you on, Sir Keir?" Foreign Secretary David Lammy has said the UK is prepared to defend its interests in Iran, while urging the country to "dial this thing down".

The i Paper headlines on Foreign Secretary David Lammy's words that the UK is "ready to defend our allies" in the Middle East. The British Government "hardens its language", with the aim of showing a "deterrent" to Iran according to the i Paper.

The Daily Express headlines on Trump's call for peace after what he said was a "very weak" attack from Iran.

The Daily Mirror calls the activity in the Middle East "war games", adding that "dozens of Britons were airlifted out of Israel".

We're all going to have "glummer holidays" says the Daily Star, as holidaymakers "ditch heatwave for big chill".

"Topple the Ayatollahs" headlines Metro, as it reports on Trump's post about "regime change" in Iran on his platform Truth Social on Sunday. The US president has since said Israel and Iran have agreed to a "complete and total" ceasefire.

The Sun leads with its own investigation about whether residents of migrant hotels are working as delivery riders. Deliveroo has said "we have a dedicated team in place who ensure Deliveroo does not work with riders who don't have the right to work in the UK." Uber Eats also denied these claims, saying "all couriers who use the Uber Eats app must undergo checks to ensure they have a legal right to work in the UK." Just Eat told the Sun "we are continuously strengthening our approach to ensure anyone who delivers through Just Eat's platform has the right-to-work in the UK."
