The day was dominated by Trump's threat of an 'economic war' against Iran, with Spiegel, Tagesspiegel, and FAZ leading coverage. The story evolved from initial reports of the threat to analysis of its feasibility and risks, with experts questioning its effectiveness. Concurrently, the CDU's internal crisis over a politician's donation to the AfD intensified, with Junge Freiheit framing it as a turning point and Tagesspiegel profiling fringe parties ahead of the Saxony-Anhalt election. In the afternoon, a cyberattack on Berlin's administration disrupted services, while reports of Ukrainian soldiers deserting during training in Germany added to tensions. The day closed with coverage of Prince Harry and Meghan's return to England, mocked by Zeit as a scripted family drama.
