The day opened with reports that Trump had been presented with options to resume war in Iran, and that he would decide within 24 hours. By mid-morning, the Financial Times reported a likely 60-day ceasefire extension. In the afternoon, Trump said the odds were 50-50 between war and deal. By evening, he announced that the general lines of an agreement had been negotiated, the Strait of Hormuz would reopen, and he had spoken with Gulf leaders and Netanyahu. Tehran confirmed progress but insisted the Strait remains under its control. The Pope's visit to Acerra and the repatriation of the Maldives divers' bodies also received coverage, but the Iran story dominated editorial decisions throughout the day.
