Morning coverage was dominated by the legislative victory to abolish the 'marital duty' and the fallout from Olympique de Marseille's Champions League elimination. Simultaneously, editors tracked the escalating American military pressure on Iran, noting Donald Trump's deployment of a carrier strike group to the Gulf. By midday, focus shifted to domestic economic instability as figures revealed a 6.8% rise in unemployment for 2025. This coincided with the Senate’s immediate rejection of the 2026 budget, setting the stage for a final 49.3 decree in the National Assembly. The afternoon was defined by a major diplomatic shift as the European Union formally designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. Editors framed this as a response to Tehran's domestic repression and military threats. The day concluded with the cultural elevation of Franco-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal to the Académie française and revelations of deleted surveillance footage in the ongoing Crans-Montana fire investigation.
