The day was dominated by the US-Iran military escalation, with American strikes on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian threats to close the strait. In the morning, reports focused on the drop in Hormuz traffic and Iran's air defense claims. By afternoon, US strikes hit Jiroft airport and Chabahar, with Trump warning of 'much harder' action. Iran retaliated with ballistic missiles on a US base in Jordan. Concurrently, domestic tensions persisted: President Aoun pushed for peace with Israel and state-building, while Speaker Berri rejected the framework and prioritized confronting Israeli aggression. Hezbollah's decline and Israeli operations in the south also featured.
