The day was dominated by the evolving US-Iran deal narrative. Early reports suggested a deal was imminent, with Trump's minister believing a breakthrough could come within hours (merkur.de, 05:15). However, by mid-morning, Trump himself dampened hopes, saying 'there must be no mistakes' (FAZ, 03:46). The Spiegel (03:12) noted the rapid shift from attack to peace. In the afternoon, Iran's hard condition emerged: a fixed sequence requiring the end of war before nuclear talks (merkur.de, 12:09). By evening, Tehran countered with defiance (FR, 20:36). Domestically, the Bürgergeld debate for Ukrainians intensified, with the Merz plan wobbling (Welt, 07:43; merkur.de, 13:38). The Bild confronted a pharmacist accused of killing the reporter's father (07:49). Later, Spiegel revealed NSDAP member files on politicians (13:32), and the bunker gap for 0.5% of the population was highlighted (15:25). The day ended with reports of AI-assisted murder via ChatGPT (Spiegel, 18:22).
