War on Iran: how the US-Israeli bid for regime change unfolded
View image in fullscreen The strike on Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s compound in Tehran. The Tehran residence of the former Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was also destroyed, and his fate was not immediately known. Back in Washington, Trump declared himself “not thrilled”. It was critical for sustaining a major aerial war as well as in helping defend Israel against the inevitable Iranian backlash. The US had already been sucked in by its volatile president to a major war that quickly became regional.

Sunday Times readers raise £50,000 to spread the joy of books
Four months after The Sunday Times began its Get Britain Reading campaign, readers have donated £50,000 to provide books for people in need and a further 500 have volunteered to read to children every week in schools. Like its six existing centres, these book banks will be based inside food banks and provide mostly new novels, donated directly from publishers, to those who would not be able to afford them. The funding injection has helped to pay for staff who liaise with publishers and food banks, and to train volunteers who work at the stalls. Sunday Times readers have also pledged thousands of hours of their time to serve as reading companions in schools through Coram Beanstalk, encouraging pupils to discover the appeal of reading for their own enjoyment. Since October, 490 Sunday Times readers have applied to become volunteer reading helpers in schools through Coram Beanstalk.

‘It was surreal’ — Times readers on their memories of Concorde
A select group of about five of us found ourselves in the Concorde lounge in New York the next morning. We flew Concorde to Bahrain in September 1979 and then on to Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur, before returning to Bahrain and taking Concorde back to Heathrow. There was a Concorde lounge and everything was done for you from the moment you stepped out of the car. Somehow my husband found out that Concorde was taking the ordinary scheduled flight to London that afternoon and we and another couple were lucky enough to get tickets for the Concorde flight for no extra cost. We lucky travellers were awarded signed certificates to prove we flew supersonic on Concorde, and a pair of socks each.

Antoine Semenyo scores winner as Man City beat Leeds to reduce Arsenal’s lead
Semenyo maintained his impressive goalscoring form since joining City from Bournemouth in January, clinically converting a rare chance for the visitors in stoppage time before the interval. City’s fourth straight league win kept the pressure on Arsenal before their home game against derby rivals Chelsea on Sunday, while Leeds were left to rue a string of missed first-half chances. Haaland’s replacement Rayan Cherki was City’s only change following last week’s home win against Newcastle, while Leeds were unchanged after their 1-1 draw at Aston Villa. Darlow’s flying save kept out Marc Guehi’s header and it was mainly one-way traffic, with Leeds working tirelessly to prevent City carving out clear chances. Leeds lifted the home fans with a late flurry and substitute Jaka Bijol headed inches wide, but City held on to notch their 18th league win of the season.

John McGlynn: Securing top-six spot would be my biggest achievement at Falkirk
McGlynn’s Falkirk move 12 points clear of seventh-placed Dundee United, who have five games remaining before the split. The experienced boss has won both the Championship and League One titles in the past two seasons, but asked if securing a top-six finish in the Premiership would mark his greatest achievement with the Bairns, McGlynn said: “I think getting the top six ranks as the best. “It would be absolutely huge, probably the biggest achievement of anything that we’ve done previously. “We filled out our section and I’m so sorry to them that we have put on that type of performance. “Sometimes you’ve just got to accept that the other team were better on the day – and Falkirk were.”

Yet another mid-talks attack suggests Trump was never serious about peace
As one Iranian Telegram channel put it: “Once again the US attacked while Iran was pursuing diplomacy. The deal would be far better than the 2015 agreement which Trump left in 2018, he insisted. He claimed Iran had agreed to zero stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, the down-blending of its existing stockpile of highly enriched uranium inside Iran, and full verification access for the International Atomic Energy Agency. Indeed Steve Witkoff, his special envoy, hinted at what the president wanted when he said Trump was surprised Iran had not yet capitulated. In justifying the attack, Trump did not delve into the progress of the talks, or the gaps that existed between the two sides.
