Morning coverage focused on President Trump’s characterization of Iranians as "animals" and his ultimatum to eliminate Iran in "one night." Simultaneously, domestic editors highlighted the new requirement for military-age men to obtain travel permits, a policy drawing comparisons to GDR-era restrictions. By midday, attention turned to a lethal attack on the Israeli consulate in Istanbul and reports of a power vacuum in Tehran. Domestic reporting emphasized the failure of government price controls as diesel prices exceeded 2.50 euros per liter. The evening was dominated by the countdown to Trump’s 2 AM deadline. Headlines tracked his escalation to threats of destroying "a whole civilization" and the subsequent military strike on Kharg Island. The day concluded with reports on Pakistan’s eleventh-hour diplomatic intervention, as Islamabad sought a deadline extension and proposed de-escalation measures to prevent further US strikes.
