Warning: Some of the newspaper front pages below contain very strong language that some may find offensive.
The majority of the papers lead with Donald Trump's latest deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz. The Guardian says the US president announced it with an "expletive-laden tirade" on Truth Social. The paper pairs the story with a photograph of extensive damage at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, which was hit by an airstrike on Sunday.
The Times takes a similar approach, saying the president has rammed home his "demands" with the "expletive-laden outburst" - which ended with the line "Praise be to Allah". The paper also features a picture of the Prince and Princess of Wales with their children as they attend an Easter Sunday Church service.
"Unhinged" declares the Mirror, which says Trump has "stooped to a childish new low" with his "gutter-mouthed tirade". The paper notes targeting civilian infrastructure would be a potential war crime. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has previously said that the Trump administration and the US armed forces "will always act within the confines of the law." She added that in order to achieve his goals, Trump was "going to move forward unabated, and he expects the Iranian regime to make a deal with the administration."
Trump is also labelled "unhinged" by the Daily Mail, which says that pressure continues to build between the US and Iran following the "foul-mouthed ultimatum".
The Financial Times says the latest threats from Trump came as he announced the "miraculous" rescue of a missing US airman, who had been on the ground in a remote area of Iran for two days before being extracted by special forces.
The "daring raid" to rescue the missing US airman is the focus for the Daily Telegraph, which Trump described as an "Easter miracle". The paper details the rescue operation, which it says included hundreds of special operations groups on the ground and saw two planes blown up when they became damaged and unusable.
"Got gun" reads the Sun, which says the 'miracle' rescue mission is being seen as the most challenging in US special forces history.
One of the few papers not dominated by the conflict in the Middle East, the Express, leads with allegations from a Rochdale grooming survivor, who has described UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's account of her case as "vile". A Downing Street spokesperson told the paper: "As director of public prosecutions, the Prime Minister secured the first grooming gang prosecutions more than a decade ago, and now his Government is doing more than any before it to root out this vile crime".
"£1billion betting bonanza!" says the Star, ahead of what it reports will be a significant week for punters.
