Iran has launched a retaliatory assault, with the Metro, the i, the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mirror focusing on the Middle Eastern conflict.

The Guardian, the Daily Mail, and the Financial Times also look to Iran’s response, as Iran fired a barrage of missiles at Israel late on Tuesday.

The Daily Express leads on the US threatening Iran after its assault on Israel.
