French editors focused on the imminent expiration of Donald Trump's ultimatum to Iran throughout the day, with multiple outlets reporting his dramatic warning that 'an entire civilization will die tonight' and Iran's counter-threat to cut off oil and gas to the U.S. and allies for years. Morning coverage detailed U.S.-Israeli bombardments of Iran's Kharg Island oil facilities and Israeli warnings to Iranian citizens to avoid train travel. Early afternoon saw a shift to the release of two French citizens detained in Iran since 2022, with President Macron announcing their freedom and return. Evening coverage consolidated on the final hours before the deadline, with Pakistan requesting a two-week extension and the White House stating only Trump knew 'what he will do' as Iranians in Tehran lived in fear.
