Morning coverage focused on Netanyahu's press conference where he declared Iran's leadership finished and unable to blackmail the world, while attacks on energy infrastructure continued including a drone strike on Kuwait's Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery. By midday, editorial attention shifted to the killing of Iranian Revolutionary Guards spokesman Ali Mohammad Naini in US-Israel strikes, with multiple outlets reporting this as a significant escalation following previous days' targeting of Iranian officials. Evening coverage consolidated on escalating US military movements toward Iran, reporting the USS Tripoli amphibious assault ship carrying 2,200 Marines heading to the Middle East and Trump's sharp criticism of NATO countries for not supporting the US in the conflict.
