What the papers say: Tuesday's front pages

Tuesday's front pages focus on a range of stories from Trump suggesting the war in Iran may end 'very soon' to a fear of fuel bills increasing if the war drags on.
The Irish Times reports US president Donald Trump described the war in Iran as “just an excursion into something that had to be done”, adding the conflict would be over “very soon”.

The Irish Examiner reports the Irish economy is facing an energy affordability crisis as households and businesses face soaring fuel bills as the war in Iran drags on.

The Echo, meanwhile, focuses on a murder trial in Cork where a woman was found at her burning apartment in Midleton.
