'Trump raises stakes' and 'Tend it like Beckham'

The Daily Telegraph questions why President Trump's administration failed to foresee what it calls "the blindingly obvious" – that Iran would attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz when it was attacked. It says the White House is now in an "invidious position", as it has to open the Strait by force, or endure the economic damage. The Financial Times warns that if Trump carries out his threats to hit Iran's power stations it could mean "scorched earth" across the region.

Its editorial column warns "justice cannot be selective". Mr Mountbatten-Windsor denies any wrongdoing.

The Guardian's frontpage is dominated by an image of the British athletes Keely Hodgkinson, Georgia Hunter-Bell and Molly Caudery embracing. They are celebrating gold medals at the World Indoor Athletics Championships.

A "blooming nuisance" is how the Daily Express describes what it says is an "invasion" of social media influencers on a street in west London. Residents of Stanley Crescent in Notting Hill have told the paper that dozens of people have flooded the area to take pictures with the spring blossom. One man said some groups even brought tents so they could change their outfits, but he did admit it "amused him to watch their antics".
