Morning coverage shifted to Iran's renewed closure of the Strait of Hormuz in response to the ongoing U.S. blockade, with multiple sources covering Tehran's announcement and accusations of American piracy. Afternoon reporting focused on Israel's plan to impose a 'yellow line' restricting the return of residents to 55 villages in southern Lebanon, framed as an expansion of control similar to Gaza.
