The day was shaped by two dominant stories: the escalating US-Iran conflict and the EU's €890 million fine against Google. Overnight, headlines reported renewed American bombings on Iran and Houthi attacks on oil tankers. By morning, the US deployed its heaviest bomber, signaling a sharp escalation. Throughout the day, outlets tracked the conflict's widening impact—from Houthi threats to Dutch wallets to Iran targeting Kuwaiti desalination plants. By evening, Trump was considering a massive attack, and Berlin recalled naval ships. Simultaneously, the EU's record Google fine for favoring its own services drew attention, with warnings of US retaliation. Other stories included wildfires forcing 20,000 evacuations in France, Ajax's Conference League qualifier, and the end of Amsterdam's Kwaku Festival.
