The day was shaped by the renewed US-Iran confrontation. Early headlines reported a second wave of US strikes on Iran, with oil prices rising and Tehran threatening the Strait of Hormuz. By afternoon, President Trump announced a naval blockade of Iranian ports and demanded a 20% levy on Hormuz cargo, a move that dominated front pages and pushed other stories aside. Domestically, the sentencing of an IS couple in Munich for enslaving Yazidi women drew sustained attention, while VW CEO Blume's threat to cut 50,000 jobs signaled deepening industrial crisis. Hungary's parliament voted to remove President Sulyok, a rare rebuke to Orbán's circle. The death of US Senator Lindsey Graham continued to generate conspiracy theories and political fallout.
