Iran's mad mullahs must realise their despotic Islamic regime is crumbling – and it's time to surrender
Trump's push BACKED into a corner with their despotic Islamic regime creaking, will the mad mullahs in charge of Iran realise it's time to surrender? Donald Trump appears to have now moved decisively behind Israel. 2 British RAF jets are joining in a huge US-led Armada in a show of military might in the region. Trump's move is an ultimatum designed to push the ailing Ayatollah into accepting a deal quickly. Israeli strikes have already taken out senior commanders and done huge damage to Iran's ability to attack or defend itself. It has also struck deep underground at the rogue state's nuclear bunkers. Thanks to Israel's efforts, Trump can now demand a total dismantling of Tehran's nuclear programme. The world doesn't need another long and gruelling war destroying innocent lives and damaging global trade. driving it back to the negotiating table. French farce We only ask because French cops are still not stopping the small boats because they insist on 'respecting the United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea.' Some officers are willing to go in knee-deep to chase migrants. DOZENS of US Air Force refuelling jets have swooped into bases across Europe in a major show of force, fuelling fears they could enter the war with Iran But most do nothing — not even blocking them when sailing on inland channels. Yesterday Keir Starmer and French PM Emmanuel Macron both admitted illegal migration in the Channel had got worse. Perhaps they could follow the example of Belgium. It cut crossings by 90 per cent by going into the sea to intercept craft. Direct French action to stop the dinghies and arrest the pilots remains the best hope of cutting numbers. As 16,000 illegals have now crossed, the PM must persuade France to up its game. Ideas vacuum GETTING economic growth is key to putting more money in people's pockets and fixing public services. It's why Chancellor Rachel Reeves has made it her top priority. But billionaire tycoon Sir James Dyson says many British firms are struggling. High taxes are swallowing up profits and endless regulation and red tape is stifling new ideas. The Government have to find a way to loosen the shackles that the State places on young entrepreneurs. Aspiration is all.
