The day opened with reciprocal US-Iran strikes in the Gulf: US forces hit Qeshm Island, Iran retaliated on Kuwait's airport, causing casualties and flight suspensions. This escalation dominated morning headlines, with outlets also noting Trump's claim that Iran agreed to renounce nuclear weapons and his insult of Netanyahu as 'crazy'. By afternoon, attention shifted to Roland Garros, where three Italian men reached the quarterfinals. Cobolli advanced to the semifinals, and the Berrettini-Arnaldi derby ended with Berrettini's retirement due to injury, sending Arnaldi to an all-Italian semifinal. Tennis updates saturated live coverage. Other stories included EU energy flexibility for Italy, a Ukrainian drone attack on St. Petersburg during Russia's economic forum, and domestic political clashes over defense spending and the Minetti pardon.
