Spanish editors prioritized the coordinated release of 400 million barrels from strategic petroleum reserves by over 30 countries, including Spain, to address the energy crisis, with El Mundo, El Plural, Público, El Periódico and 20minutos reporting the historic agreement. This development followed morning coverage of escalating conflict in the Strait of Hormuz, where U.S. forces destroyed 16 Iranian mine-laying boats and Trump threatened unprecedented reprisals, reported by El Confidencial, La Vanguardia and El País. Evening coverage shifted to Iran demanding permission for passage through the strait while Trump claimed safe passage, and a preliminary investigation attributed a U.S. attack on an Iranian girls' school to outdated intelligence.
