Morning coverage focused on Iran's announcement that it would allow vessels from India and other 'friendly nations' to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, framed as a significant diplomatic gesture amid ongoing Middle East conflict. By early afternoon, editorial attention shifted to the killing of IRGC Navy chief Alireza Tangsiri in an Israeli strike near the Strait of Hormuz, with multiple outlets covering this escalation and its implications for regional conflict. Evening coverage consolidated on Trump's contradictory statements about Iran as 'lousy fighters but great negotiators' and his claim that Iran allowed 10 oil tankers through Hormuz as a goodwill gesture, alongside continued reporting on a fatal bus accident in Chhindwara.
