Story summary

US President Donald Trump hinted at imminent military action against Iran, telling reporters that a decision is coming soon, either to negotiate or "blow them up." Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said there are strong indications of Iranian involvement in an alleged plot targeting RAF Fairford, a key US airbase used for strikes on Iran. Five UK nationals were arrested and later released on bail pending further investigation by British and US authorities. Trump previously rejected Iran’s peace proposal but now suggests time is running out before he makes a final decision. The Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi presented the US response to Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian, who said they would make every effort to reach an agreement despite differing views on implementation timelines.
