13.07.2026The Day Trump Claimed the Strait of Hormuz

The day's editorial focus shifted from the previous day's Iran-US military exchange to President Trump's assertion that the US would manage the Strait of Hormuz and charge fees.

A stabbing in Oita injured four, with TBS and NHK reporting a 44-year-old suspect's arrest. Mitsubishi UFJ's rise to Japan's top market cap was covered by Nikkei. Other stories included EU children's social media restrictions, Okinawa governor's censure, and extreme heat warnings.
