Spanish editors maintained singular focus on the Iran conflict throughout March 13th, with all major outlets prioritizing developments in the war. Morning coverage centered on U.S. authorization of temporary Russian oil purchases to contain prices, reported by El País alongside new attacks including a pro-Iranian militia claiming to down a U.S. tanker and missile strikes injuring 50 in northern Israel. By early afternoon, headlines shifted to El País reporting U.S. claims that the Iranian leader is wounded and likely disfigured, with evening coverage confirming these injuries alongside six crew deaths in a tanker crash in Iraq. This followed earlier coverage of Republican pressure on Trump to end the war due to economic and electoral concerns.
