Dutch editors opened April 4th continuing their focus on the US-Iran conflict, with multiple outlets reporting a second American fighter jet had crashed in Iran and search operations continued for a missing crew member. By mid-morning, editorial attention shifted to domestic security concerns as multiple outlets reported an explosion at a Christian organization in Nijkerk, describing it as a targeted attack that caused shock among members. In the afternoon, coverage consolidated decisively around President Trump's 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, with multiple outlets reporting his warnings that 'hell would break loose' if the strait remained closed, while also noting Iran's decision to allow Iraqi ships through the waterway. Evening coverage maintained this focus on the escalating military tensions, with reports of Trump repeating his ultimatum and Iran warning against further escalation, while also covering Israel's preparations to attack Iranian energy facilities.
