The Iranian regime is not going to fall in one day'. The escalation follows the collapse of nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran last week, with Kuperwasser saying that 'Iran's maximum flexibility was still far from meeting the minimum American demands'.

People gather at the Enghelab Square in Tehran after Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in Israeli and US strikes on Saturday. The death in a US-Israeli air strike of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday means a change in personnel and, perhaps, policy adjustments at the top of the regime – but not major change. The IRCG is a pillar of the regime while Iran’s security forces have brutally suppressed protests and crippled the domestic opposition. After returning to Tehran, after 14 years in exile, he launched the “Iranian Islamic Revolution”. The expediency council advises the supreme leader and resolves differences between the government and legislature, while the assembly of experts appoints the supreme leader and vets potential candidates for election.

Manchester United fans have again hit back at co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's views on immigration - this time with a banner at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, The Manchester United Muslim Supporters’ Club accused Ratcliffe of fuelling far-right hate speech as well as risking ‘legitimising prejudice and deepening division’. Comparing the situation in the country to running United, Ratcliffe added: ‘I've seen quite a bit of this at the football club. ‘I've been very unpopular at Manchester United because we've made lots of changes. However, his comments on Manchester United are particularly worrying.

Seán Guerin SC told the Irish Examiner the plans to cap fees on judicial reviews are "an attack on the people who use the legal system", which is "troubling". One key element of the plan is the introduction of new restrictions on the use of judicial reviews. The plan also proposes the use of tests, with courts likely to be asked to consider whether a judicial review would be successful. Ahead of this, a new scale of fees will be introduced for environmental judicial reviews. Judicial review is not pro- or anti-development.

The leaders were set to meet where the offices of the Iranian presidency, the supreme leader and Iran’s National Security Council are located. Last June, with planning under way to strike Iran’s nuclear targets, US president Donald Trump asserted that the United States knew where Khamenei was hiding and could have killed him. The United States used that knowledge to hone its ability to track Khamenei and predict his movements. The US and Israel had also gathered specifics about the locations of key Iranian intelligence officers. Iran’s top intelligence officer escaped, but the senior ranks of Iran’s intelligence agencies were decimated, according to people briefed on the operation.

Everything you need to know about Stoke-on-Trent's new weekly bin collectionIt launches in 2026View Image Stoke-on-Trent City Council refuse collectors emptying blue binsA new weekly bin collection service is set to launch in Stoke-on-Trent in 2026. The food waste recycling service collection starts on Monday 30 March, with the city council urging households to register their interest. Food waste is collected weekly so is emptied more frequently than your household waste bin, therefore maggots, flies and smells are less likely. If you can’t use the food waste service for some reason, you can still put food waste into your household rubbish bin, but this food waste will not be recycled. We want to make clear what the right way is to get food waste collected, and encourage you to use our food waste recycling service.

What followed was a cacophony of booming explosions in the sky as the city’s air-defence missile system began taking out missile after missile, drone after drone.

Smoke billows above the Jebel Ali port in Dubai on Sunday after it was struck by debris from an intercepted Iranian missile.

The Dogs led 10-8 at the break and went further ahead with a try to winger Jacob Kiraz after a trademark Crichton left-hand flick. Dragons debutant winger Setu Tu, at the age of 27, capped a stellar match with a try in the 59th minute to reduce Canterbury's lead to just two. Atkinson went for a failed 50m shot with 90 seconds to go and the Bulldogs received a penalty. The Dragons showcased resilience in defence in the opening half to thwart slick Canterbury attack, orchestrated by half Lachlan Galvin. They were penalised for dissent and Crichton made them pay with a try-assist and the magic moment at the death.

The United States and Israel launched their most ambitious attacks on Iran in decades on Saturday in an operation that killed Supreme ‌Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “Just imagine how emboldened this regime would be if they ever had and actually were armed with nuclear weapons as a means to deliver their message,” he said on Saturday. The International Atomic Energy Agency and the US intelligence community have separately assessed that Iran shuttered a nuclear weapons development programme in 2003. No other country has done so without eventually producing nuclear weapons. He said Iran’s “menacing activities directly endanger the United States, ⁠our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world”.

A storming second-half performance that brought goals for Bruno Fernandes and Benjamin Sesko and lifted United into the top three should see Carrick's odds shorten. When Sesko leapt to meet Bruno Fernandes' whipped cross only to send his header straight at Henderson, there were further signs of a Red revival. Cunha lost Lacroix with a deft change of direction only to be dragged back by the scruff of the neck by the Palace defender. Fernandes, Cunha and Harry Maguire also wanted to see a red card. Fernandes kept his cool to send Henderson the wrong way from the spot.

(Image: Bolsover District Council)A company which plans to build a large holiday park on the outskirts of a Derbyshire village has said it has "adapted" his design approach after concerns were raised. ‌Behind the plans is the American company Great Wolf Lodges, which already operates similar holiday parks across the US. The group said they were concerned with the park bringing its "own aesthetics" instead of fitting into the local scene. Concerns were also heard about the traffic volume to and from the holiday park, with residents saying there was insufficient public transport available to big cities nearby.
