Spanish editors began April 17th reporting on the political agreement between PP and Vox in Extremadura, with Vox securing the vice-presidency and two ministries in exchange for supporting María Guardiola's investiture. By early afternoon, coverage shifted decisively to Iran's announcement of the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz following the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, with multiple outlets detailing the conditional nature of the reopening and its immediate economic impact on oil prices and stock markets. Evening coverage continued on Iran's threat to close the strait again if the US maintains its naval blockade, while also reporting on Pedro Sánchez's criticism of the PP-Vox pact and his anti-war alignment with Lula da Silva at the progressive summit in Barcelona.
