Saturday’s front pages predominantly highlight the escalating conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran. The Guardian’s headline focuses on US President Donald Trump’s demand for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” as a pathway to ending the offensive that began a week ago. The newspaper notes that both the US and Israel have carried out some of the heaviest bombardments yet in this conflict.
