UK papers lead on Iran link to RAF bomb plot and tax rise talks
Original: The Papers: 'Iran link to RAF bomb plot' and 'Tax rise talks at No 10' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9gk5vd636m5o
Wednesday's front pages are dominated by two stories: reports alleging an Iranian connection to an alleged bomb plot targeting RAF personnel or bases in the UK, and suggestions that Downing Street is discussing tax rises ahead of the next budget. The national newspapers weigh the national security claims against debate over the government's fiscal plans.
Why now: Both the alleged Iran-linked plot and possible tax rises are major UK news stories breaking in the same news cycle.
