The day was dominated by the collision between the imminent US-Iran nuclear deal and a sharp military escalation. Early headlines reported Hezbollah drones exploding in northern Israel, violating the ceasefire. By mid-morning, the IDF retaliated with strikes on Hezbollah's Dahiyeh headquarters in Beirut, drawing immediate Iranian threats of retaliation. Editors framed the timing—hours before the deal signing—as a message to Tehran and Washington. Trump publicly rebuked Netanyahu, saying the strike 'shouldn't have happened' and that he told him 'what the hell are you doing?' As Israel braced for Iranian missiles, Trump pressed Tehran to hold fire with economic incentives, but Iran rejected them and vowed a response. By evening, Trump informed Netanyahu the deal could be signed tonight, with Qatar finalizing details. The day's editorial focus shifted from the deal's terms to the diplomatic-military crisis it triggered.
