The day began with US airstrikes on Iran, described as five times more powerful than June's, hitting 80 targets in retaliation for attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran retaliated by striking US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait, claiming the US violated a memorandum of understanding. By morning, Trump declared the truce over, calling Iran 'feccia' and 'bugiardi'. At the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump attacked allies, calling Italy 'pessima sulle basi' and Spain 'un caso senza speranza', while praising China. Meloni insisted Italy would meet commitments on its own terms, and later Trump softened, saying Italy was 'brava'. In the evening, Trump ordered new strikes near Hormuz, causing explosions in southern Iran, with Tehran threatening to close the strait. This escalation dominated headlines across all outlets, overshadowing other stories like the arrest of Mario Adinolfi for fraud and the conviction of Satnam Singh's employer.
