French editors focused on Iran's seizure of two vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and firing on a third, following Donald Trump's unilateral extension of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire while maintaining the naval blockade. Morning coverage detailed the container ship attack and Iran's fragmented leadership, with Trump's decision framed as maintaining pressure on Tehran's economy. Early afternoon reports highlighted China's warning of a critical moment and the €6 billion cost to France from the conflict, while Macron announced measures to accelerate industrial projects. Evening coverage centered on Iran's refusal to reopen the strait while the blockade persists, creating a 'neither war nor peace' stalemate as Trump left negotiations without a deadline.
