18.07.2026The Day the Bleus Were Routed in Deschamps' Farewell

The day's editorial focus was split between the escalating US-Iran conflict and France's World Cup humiliation. Overnight, Iran claimed to have stopped ships in the Strait of Hormuz, and by morning, two oil tankers reportedly hit mines. Gulf states condemned Iranian attacks as war crimes. In the afternoon, Iran's Supreme Leader threatened 'unforgettable lessons' after an attack in Jordan killed two US soldiers. By evening, all live coverage pivoted to the World Cup third-place match, where France suffered a catastrophic 4-0 first-half defeat against England in Didier Deschamps' final game. Outlets described the team as 'démunis' and 'désunis.' Secondary stories included the Jubillar bone identification delay, heatwave anxiety, and a mayor's death threats from the DZ Mafia.
