The day was defined by the Iran deal's erratic trajectory. Morning reports cited Pakistan's claim that a US-Iran peace agreement would be finalized within 24 hours, a narrative that dominated headlines across Le Monde, BFMTV, and Le Figaro. By early afternoon, Iran denied any imminent signing, puncturing the optimism. The whiplash continued into evening when Trump himself asserted a deal was 'planned' for Sunday, restoring the story to top billing. This overshadowed other developments: the Lyhanna affair's systemic critique persisted, Patrick Bruel faced new sexual assault complaints, and a heatwave settled over France. The World Cup provided a constant backdrop, with Qatar's surprise draw against Switzerland and Brazil-Morocco anticipation, but editorial priority swung sharply with each Iran deal update.
