The US-Iran conflict dominated headlines throughout July 9, with new US airstrikes near the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian retaliation against US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar. By evening, traffic in the strait was nearly halted, and Israel threatened further attacks. The burial of Iranian leader Khamenei took place in Mashhad. In domestic news, Italy expelled two Russian military attachés for espionage, and a man was arrested in Milan for slashing a woman's face while citing his Muslim identity. The World Cup quarterfinal between France and Morocco drew attention in the evening, with Mbappé missing a penalty before scoring a spectacular goal in a 2-0 French victory.
