The day opened with the US-Iran escalation dominating: new US strikes on Bandar Abbas and Iranian retaliation on a US base and four ships in Hormuz. Trump reiterated no deal and Hormuz would remain open. By mid-morning, Meloni's comments on defense spending and energy costs gained traction, but the Iran crisis remained the top story. In the early afternoon, Jannik Sinner's dramatic collapse at Roland Garros seized editorial attention. Leading two sets to zero, he suffered physical distress, vomiting and cramping, and lost in five sets. The shocking exit was covered live by all major outlets, overshadowing other news. By evening, Axios reported that Iran and the US had reached an agreement pending Trump's approval, who asked for two days to evaluate. Iranian TV claimed an American drone was shot down. Netanyahu ordered occupation of 70% of Gaza. The Iran deal's uncertain fate and Sinner's collapse defined the day's editorial priorities.
