Overnight post-mortems of the Republican midterm convention in Dallas framed loyalty to Trump as the strategy and Vance's keynote as a 2028 audition, before coverage pivoted almost entirely to the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
Trump led the Pentagon observance, vowing to prevail and tying the legacy to the ongoing war with Iran, while Vance joined former presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden at Ground Zero for the name-reading. Families used the ceremony to demand Saudi accountability and release of withheld documents.
Declassified CIA briefings showing pre-attack warnings drew attention, as did backlash over New York mayoral candidate Mamdani and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez appearing to laugh during the service and Giuliani's handshake with Mamdani.

Overnight coverage lingered on the Ali Taher demolition, with the IDF releasing details of a four-month operation beyond the Litani, deception tactics, collection of intelligence before detonating 1,100 tons of explosives in 5.4 km of tunnels where some 50 Hezbollah men refused surrender offers.

Attention then shifted to Yemen. Outlets reported the Houthis completed control of the Yemeni side of Bab al-Mandab, including Perim Island and Dhubab, with Iranian help, alongside Trump's refusal to join Saudi strike requests and Washington limiting itself to intelligence. Israeli officials called it closure of an Iranian pincer with Hormuz, warning of trade and oil disruption.
Marking 25 years since September 11, Trump tied remembrance to the Iran war. Late in the day Riyadh said it temporarily shut a vital oil pipeline after drone strikes attributed to Iraq.

Morning papers suspended the Saxony-Anhalt aftermath for the 25th anniversary of 11 September 2001, reconstructing the attack minute-by-minute, from Atta's hijacking to the towers' collapse, and foregrounding survivors like firefighter Joseph Pfeifer and Düsseldorfer Klaus Borchert in the South Tower alongside the Bochum trace of pilot Ziad Jarrah. Legacy pieces questioned whether the terrorists had won, counted the War on Terror's dead, and traced normalized emergency laws and Frankfurt's tower boom.
By afternoon attention returned to Chancellor Merz. After fuel-price attacks, FAZ and others described a Union budget revolt, a CDU local branch's brandbrief threatening exit, and the resignation of deputy general secretary Stumpp, with speculation about Söder.

Israel shifted from demolition to justification, publishing tunnel footage from Ali al-Taher and al-Shaqif it called the secret Badr complex and saying troops had withdrawn to Shqif after detonating some 1,100 tons of explosives. Defence Minister Katz and army chief Zamir threatened further strikes, with Israel insisting the Yellow Line would remain under full control as a fortified security zone.
Parliament Speaker Berri answered that the framework agreement had fallen and the situation was dangerous, as Nabatieh residents described panic and villagers watched further detonations from afar. Talk of Rome negotiations Tuesday faded, with reports of no talks until after the army support conference and of US envoy Issa reaching out to Shiites around Berri.
Preparations for the Paris support conference continued amid warnings of a push toward Nabatieh.

Morning coverage centred on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, with ceremonies in New York, Trump's 'never, ever forget' address, and recollections of intelligence failures and toxic-dust deaths still killing one person a day.

By morning exile and state outlets reported successive Houthi advances to Dhubab and Perim/Mayyun island, then claimed full control of Yemen's Red Sea coast and the strait. Editors paired the battlefield claim with its price: Brent above $108, Asian stocks falling, and later the shutdown of Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline after multiple strikes.
Washington's response became the second thread: Axios reported Trump rejected a Saudi request for US strikes, while CENTCOM's commander flew to Riyadh and officials stressed freedom of navigation. Trump used 9/11 ceremonies to call Iran the top state sponsor of terrorism; Pezeshkian, arriving in Delhi for BRICS, answered in kind.
