The war with Iran is a leading topic in the Western press for another day.
(US President Donald) Trump intensifies bombing against Iran, writes the "Daily Telegraph".
The American leader increased the intensity of his war against Iran by dropping anti-bunker bombs on the Iranian regime's underground missile sites, the British publication notes.
(Russian President Vladimir) Putin is offering Trump an easy way out of the confused strategy for the war in Iran - and Trump can take advantage, writes the "Independent".
Amid the confusingly mixed messages that Donald Trump is sending about ending the war with Iran, he has hinted that he may lift oil sanctions against Russia. However, this will benefit only one person - Vladimir Putin, points out "Independent".
Trump's claim that the campaign will end soon has reduced the price of oil on international markets, and his offer to lift sanctions imposed on Russia after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine could lead to a further reduction in prices - this could ease some of the criticism against Trump in the US, the British newspaper points out.
Supporters of Trump and the ideology of "Make America Great Again" are shaken by his air invasion of Iran, taking into account his past promises to end America's conflicts in the Middle East, the "Independent" also writes. According to the British publication, Trump's words about the possible lifting of oil sanctions should be understood as an attempt to "bribe" to these sympathizers by easing the geostrategic restrictions that the US has imposed on Russian oil production and reducing fuel prices at home.
Iran's regional proxies are refraining from a full-scale war against the US and Israel, writes Jason Burke, a correspondent for the "Guardian" newspaper, in an analysis. on international security issues.
Iranian-backed militias across the Middle East are continuing their attacks on Israel, the United States and their allies in response to the US-Israeli attack on Tehran, but for now they are refraining from a full-scale confrontation, analysts and officials in the region say.
Their relative restraint is an indication that Tehran views these forces as a strategic reserve to be used as the intensity of the war continues to increase, Burke writes, while noting that this may actually be an indication of the breakdown of Iranian command and control systems.
V. "New York Times" focuses on the words of American officials that the Iranian armed forces show that they know how to adapt to the situation.
Iran appears to be attacking what it perceives as US vulnerabilities - including air defense systems that are designed to protect soldiers and assets in the region, the American publication notes.
