01.02.2026The Day of the Regional War Warning

Morning editorial focus centered on a sharp escalation in the Middle East as Tehran designated European armies as 'terrorist groups' in retaliation for EU sanctions against the Revolutionary Guard. By midday, headlines shifted to Ali Khamenei’s direct warning that any American strike would trigger a 'regional war.' This geopolitical tension shared the front pages with domestic updates on the Crans-Montana fire, where the death toll rose to 41, and the entry into force of several February 1st economic changes, including a decrease in the Livret A interest rate. In the afternoon, editors tracked a lethal Russian drone strike on a bus in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region, signaling the end of a brief strike pause. Simultaneously, French diplomacy entered the fray as Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot demanded 'major concessions' from Tehran. By evening, the focus shifted to Washington, where President Trump combined threats of naval force near the Strait of Hormuz with public statements expressing hope for a new nuclear deal.
