  • Officials said the US was proposing a month-long ceasefire to discuss the plan, which included dismantling Iran's main nuclear sites and uranium enrichment programme.

  • In the UK, the cost of Trump’s war has hit, with drivers predicted to pick up a £307m fuel bill as diesel prices soared to a three-year high.
