The headline on the front page of the Guardian reads: “Trump threat to 'obliterate' all Iranian power plants”. — Former BBC radio presenter Scott Mills appears on most of Tuesday’s papers, after he was sacked following allegations about his personal conduct. The Guardian says Mills hosted “Britain’s most popular breakfast show”, but was “blindsided” by the decision to take him off air last Tuesday. Donald Trump’s latest threats against Iran also feature on the Guardian’s front page; the president has said he will “obliterate” Iran’s power stations and water plants if Tehran does not agree to peace terms “shortly”. Iran remains “defiant”, the paper notes.

“Sacked Mills in 2016 cop probe” declares the Mirror, which first reported Mills’ departure from Radio 2. The paper says it understands the sacking was related to a “historical allegation”. The BBC has not given any further details, but says only “while we do not comment on matters relating to individuals, we can confirm Scott Mills is no longer contracted to work with the BBC”.

Several papers feature the planned strike for resident doctors next week, with the Telegraph reporting Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has issued a “48-hour ultimatum” to those intending to be part of the industrial action. Sir Keir is urging resident doctors to reconsider, and the paper says he will withdraw an offer to provide at least 4,000 new specialty training posts if the six-day strike goes ahead.

Rising fuel costs are the top story for the i Paper, which reports that Sir Keir is urging business leaders to “help limit fallout” from the war with Iran. The prime minister has said that the public wants action on food prices, petrol and energy, according to the paper, which says he has met with fuel executives to discuss “contingency plans” for lower supplies of diesel and jet fuel.
