Spanish editors shifted focus from domestic coalition negotiations to escalating Middle East tensions, with the killing of Iranian security chief Ali Larijani dominating coverage throughout March 17th. Morning headlines reported Israel's claim to have killed Larijani in Tehran, with multiple outlets highlighting his role as a key regime figure and the military details of the operation. By early afternoon, coverage expanded to include Hezbollah's rocket attacks against Israel and the resignation of the U.S. counterterrorism chief over opposition to the Iran war. In the evening, Iran confirmed Larijani's death, with editors framing this as the most significant assassination since Supreme Leader Khamenei, while domestic politics moved to secondary coverage.
