The day began with reports of overnight US strikes on Iran for the seventh consecutive night and Iranian retaliation hitting US targets in Kuwait and Jordan, killing two American soldiers. By afternoon, Iran's supreme leader suspended the nuclear agreement with the US and lashed out at President Trump, dominating the evening news cycle. This escalation overshadowed other stories: the Merwedebrug closure to trucks due to weakened steel, a 'mega-operation' drug lab raid in a Hague residential area, and CDU leader Jens Spahn's resignation over a surrogate child controversy. Earlier, a French 'birth letter' sparked outrage as patronizing, and a quarter of Dutch municipalities sought a total fireworks ban. The day's editorial focus remained fixed on the US-Iran conflict's dangerous new phase.
