The morning began with intense editorial focus on an imminent U.S. strike against Iran, as headlines tracked the arrival of aircraft carriers and rumors of a banking collapse in Tehran. By midday, a definitive shift occurred as editors prioritized reports of U.S. personnel being ordered to evacuate the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar by evening, a move interpreted as the final tactical precursor to hostilities. Concurrently, the takeoff of the 'Wing of Zion' aircraft dominated breaking news alerts. In the early afternoon, attention briefly split as U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff officially announced the transition to 'Phase II' of the Gaza peace plan, involving technocratic governance. Right-wing outlets focused on the domestic controversy of advancing this plan while the body of hostage Ran Gvili remains in Gaza. By late evening, the military momentum was complicated by President Trump’s live declaration that Iranian massacres had reportedly ceased, leading to a shift from 'imminent strike' headlines to a more cautious analysis of his 'we'll see' stance.
