Morning coverage focused on the twelfth day of Middle East conflict escalation, with multiple outlets reporting the new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was 'safe and sound' despite injuries and Iran's shift to targeting economic centers and banks in the region. Early afternoon saw editorial attention shift to Israel's declaration of no time limit for its offensive against Iran and a developing naval battle in the Strait of Hormuz where three ships were hit by unknown projectiles. The evening was defined by Donald Trump's prediction of 'great security' in the Strait of Hormuz while Israel launched 'large-scale' strikes in southern Beirut, with coverage simultaneously noting the International Energy Agency's release of 400 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves.
