Starmer joins Nato summit to face ‘volatile' Israel-Iran tensions
The prime minister is announcing a significant strengthening of the UK's nuclear posture at the Nato summit, including a pledge to acquire 12 new nuclear-capable fighter jets. Discussions at the summit will focus on the volatile situation between Israel and Iran, with leaders, including Sir Keir Starmer, urging diplomacy and the maintenance of a fragile ceasefire. Intelligence reports indicate that recent US strikes only temporarily set back Iran's nuclear program, contradicting claims by Trump that the sites were completely destroyed. The White House and Trump have strongly refuted these intelligence assessments, with Trump asserting the raid was a highly successful military operation. The UK is continuing to evacuate its citizens from Israel, while the Liberal Democrats are calling for parliamentary approval for any future deployment of British troops.

Trump rejects reports US strikes failed to seriously damage Iran's nuclear programme
Trump rejects reports US strikes failed to seriously damage Iran's nuclear programme The White House said the reports were "flat-out wrong" and were leaked by "a low-level loser in the intelligence community" President Donald Trump stands next to Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the Situation Room as they monitor the mission that took out three Iranian nuclear enrichment sites (Image: Getty Images ) Donald Trump has rejected reports US strikes failed to seriously damage Iran's nuclear programme. The US launched strikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran, Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan, with "bunker buster" bombs capable of penetrating 18m (60ft) of concrete or 61m (200ft) of earth before exploding. But it has been reported that sources familiar with the assessment say Iran's centrifuges are largely intact and the impact was limited to above ground structures. The White House rejected the reports as "flat-out wrong" and said the assessment was leaked by "a low-level loser in the intelligence community". White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: 'This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as 'top secret' but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community. 'The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran's nuclear program. 'Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000-pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.' Article continues below Trump's special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff told Fox News: "It's outrageous, it's treasonous and it has to be investigated. Whoever's responsible for it should be held accountable." The UK has started evacuating Britons from Israel, with the first group of 63 flown back via Cyprus and due to return to the UK on Monday. Downing Street said 'around 1,000' people had requested a seat on an evacuation flight – a quarter of the 4,000 who had registered their presence in Israel or Palestine with the Foreign Office. The Government has withdrawn staff from its embassy in Iran and it is operating 'remotely', Mr Lammy told MPs. The Foreign Secretary previously spoke of a two-week window for a diplomatic solution after Mr Trump's apparent decision last week to delay US military action. Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi posted on X there was 'no agreement' on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations'.

He added a 'final decision' on ending military operations would be made later.

Trump says intelligence on Iran was inconclusive, but suggests severe damage
THE HAGUE, June 25 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the intelligence following the strikes on Iranian nuclear sites was inconclusive, but also suggested the damage could have been severe. "The intelligence was very inconclusive. The intelligence says we don't know. It could've been very severe. That's what the intelligence suggests," Trump told reporters ahead of meeting with world leaders at a NATO summit. "It was very severe. There was obliteration," he added.
