Spanish editors shifted focus from the previous day's assassination of Ali Larijani to Iran's retaliatory attack on Tel Aviv, which dominated coverage throughout March 18th. Morning headlines reported Iran's missile strikes on Tel Aviv and Israel's bombardment of Beirut, with multiple outlets framing this as direct retaliation for Larijani's killing. By early afternoon, coverage expanded to include U.S. and Israeli attacks on the world's largest natural gas field shared by Iran and Qatar, with reports of rising oil prices and Iran's warnings of economic war. Throughout the evening, editors tracked Iran's expansion of attacks to alternative shipping routes near the Strait of Hormuz and retaliatory strikes on Gulf energy infrastructure, while domestic political coverage focused on Spain's economic response measures and tensions between Sánchez and Feijóo over the war.
