The day began with reports of Israeli plans to expand the Gaza offensive and continued ceasefire violations, but the dominant story was the US-Iran escalation. By morning, Iran had targeted US bases in the region after Trump ordered strikes near Hormuz, with outlets framing it as a new deterrence equation. By afternoon, Trump threatened powerful new attacks on Iran unless it signed an agreement immediately, while Iran claimed 70% of its targets were hit. Hamas rejected disarmament in Cairo talks, but other factions reportedly accepted a mediator proposal. In Gaza, the death toll rose to 72,991, and settlers established new outposts. By evening, Trump's ultimatum overshadowed all other news, with headlines focusing on his demand for an immediate deal.
