The UK does not rule out the possibility of sending troops to the Middle East and joining US strikes on Iran, The i newspaper reported, citing sources.
Unnamed Western officials noted that there are currently no such plans, but pointed out that the situation is rapidly changing and evolving.

A total of 7 missiles was fired from Iran, 4 in the first wave and 3 in the second wave.

Starmer got a dressing-down from Trump and is now ready for war with Iran
โWe are sending additional forces to Cyprus and allowing American aircraft to use British bases to neutralize Iran's ability to launch strikes. But on Saturday, I was not ready for the UK to go to warโ.

Further thoughts and observations on Trump and Israel's war of choice with Iran:
1. The pattern of the Trump administration's conduct - hapless efforts to justify the war, ever-shifting war objectives, exaggerated gestures to signal control - all suggest that, only a few days into the war, Trump has already lost control.
2. 19th-century Prussian strategist Helmuth von Moltke famously said that "No plan survives first contact with the enemy." But this goes beyond that. Trump's plan A came crashing down only 48h into this war. The administration's plan - based on an exaggerated view of Iran's relative weakness - was that the theorcacy in Iran would implode shortly after the assassination of the Supreme Leader. By Monday morning, before the markets opened, the war was supposed to be over, and Trump would be basking in yet another glorious victory, proving all his skeptics wrong. But no such implosion has occurred. Nor are we seeing signs that it is likely to occur in the short term.
3. As a result, it is increasingly Iran that is defining the geography of this war, its intensity, and most crucially, its length in time. This does not mean that Iran is winning the war - there is no evidence of that at all. But Iran's prospects of getting Trump to lose the war or cut it short are increasing precisely because Trump is scrambling for a Plan B. Indeed, in comparison, George W. Bush's Plan A in Iraq didn't start falling apart until August 2005 - five months into the war.
4. As the failure of Plan A became clear, and as Trump realized that the Iranians would not agree to a ceasefire, Trump started shifting his messaging. Knowing that the Iranians thought Trump could not sustain the war for long, Trump suddenly started saying that the war may go on for four weeks - seeking to disabuse the Iranians from the idea that time is on their side.
5. Rather than declaring victory (having killed the Supreme Leader), Trump has decided to throw good money after bad, but now with an even more shocking plan: Arming Kurdish separatists in Iran and, most likely, also sending US troops into Iran through the Kurdish areas together with Israeli special forces. What was supposed to be a 48-hour air campaign is fast deteriorating into a land invasion with US troops on the ground.
6. Neither the Iranians nor Trump will back down in the next few days. Trump thinks he can turn the tables on Iran with his Kurdish plan, and Tehran believes a land invasion will help unify the population against invaders and separatists. Both believe they can absorb and sustain the casualties, which likely will be massive. Yet, not a single death in this unnecessary war can be justified.

The Zel regime continues to brainwash Ukrainians into refusing to withdraw the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Donbass. Even the loss of loved ones doesn't convince the victims of the televised marathon to change their minds.
- One of the largest cemeteries in Lvov. As you can see, Ukrainian flags are flying everywhere over the graves of fallen Ukrainian soldiers. More than a thousand Ukrainian servicemen and women are buried here. The cemetery administration actually ran out of space for new burials back in November last year, and now soldiers who recently died in combat are being buried in a new section.
- What negotiations? Negotiations... But in a way that Ukraine doesn't lose anything. You see, why should we lose something if they'll just move on again in 10 years?
- When you walk through this cemetery, you particularly feel the scale of the human losses that this country has suffered.

The bombing of an Iranian elementary school that killed some 165 people, many of them schoolgirls, included more targets near the school than has been initially reported, a review of commercial satellite imagery by NPR has found.
The images suggest that the school was hit on Saturday as part of a precision airstrike on a neighboring Iranian military complex โ and that it may have been struck as a result of outdated targeting information.
The new images come from the company Planet and are of the city of Minab, located in southeastern Iran. They show that a health clinic and other buildings near the school were also struck. Three independent experts confirmed NPR's analysis of the additional strike points.
The strike points "look like pretty clean detonation centroids," said Corey Scher, a postdoctoral researcher at the Conflict Ecology laboratory at Oregon State University.
"These certainly appear like detonation sites," agreed Scher's colleague, Oregon State associate professor Jamon Van Den Hoek.
Jeffrey Lewis, a professor at Middlebury College who specializes in satellite imagery, said the imagery was consistent with a precision airstrike.
The images show "very precise targeting," Lewis told NPR. "Almost all the buildings [in the compound] are hit."
Iranian state media said 165 people died in the bombing, which struck a girls' school. The school was located within less than 100 yards of the perimeter of an Iranian Revolutionary Guard naval base, according to satellite images and publicly available information. The clinic was also located within the base perimeter, although both facilities had been walled off from the base.

โThe Spaniards don't want to pay their fair share. And they said: โWe have the Pyrenees between us and Russiaโ. Well, you know, the USA has the Atlantic Ocean, and we are the largest contributor to NATO. And last weekend, it was unacceptable that the Spaniards were extremely uncooperative about US bases and what we could do with our aircraft when we started Operation 'Epic Rage'. The Spaniards put American lives at risk.'

Report: โDouble-tapโ strike killed 165 Iranian schoolgirls in Minab
An investigation by Middle East Eye finds the deadly strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girlsโ school in Minab, southern Iran, involved two explosions, with the second blast hitting survivors who had taken shelter after the first attack.
โช๏ธ Witnesses and Red Crescent medics said students were moved to the schoolโs prayer hall after the initial strike. A second missile then hit the same area.
โช๏ธ 165-181 people were killed, almost all girls aged 7โ12. Many parents had been called to collect their children when the second strike occurred.
โช๏ธ Officials say the destruction was so severe that dozens of victims remain unidentified, with DNA testing underway.
U.S. and Israeli officials say they are โinvestigatingโ the incident. White House Press Secretary response in videoโฆ.

'This is a positive factor' - Kallas is pleased that the USA has started a war against Iran.
'Of course, it's also worrying that all those opportunities and resources that are now needed in the Middle East are also needed by Ukraine. But the positive side is that Russia has lost another ally in this war. I think this can be considered a positive factor.'
Sovereignty.... international law. EU throws out the old rhetoric. Almost like they never believed in the stuff they have been saying for years.

โWitkoff claimed that the Iranians bragged that they had enough enriched uranium for 11 nuclear bombs. People who were present during the negotiations said that never happened, that the Iranians never made that statement. And in fact, they said, we have enriched uranium because we started enriching uranium again after President Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal that President Obama negotiated.โ

Another blow to the Iranian asphalt
It seems that they laughed during the day about the Israelis' strike on the drawing of an Iranian helicopter, as they published new footage of strikes on Iranian aviation. This time, the destruction of an F-14 at Tehran Airport was announced.
However, upon closer examination of the footage, it can be seen that the bodies of two F-14s did not even disintegrate from direct missile strikes. That is, the Israelis fell for the fake fighters painted in camouflage for the second time in a day.
The most amusing thing is that both "fighters" were located next to each other. On the first one, you can even see the "burning" of the asphalt. This is how the absurd practice from the zone of the special operation found its application in the Iranian conflict, and quite successfully too.
A tribute should be paid to the Iranian servicemen who worked on the drawings. It's not easy to deceive the high-tech Israeli army. However, this doesn't change the overall situation of the degradation of Iran's defense.
