31.03.2026The Day Trump Abandoned Hormuz

Morning coverage focused on the escalation of U.S. military posture, with reports of 50,000 troops deployed to the Gulf and a U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear site in Isfahan, while Spain closed airspace and deployed a frigate to Cyprus. By early afternoon, editorial priority shifted to Donald Trump's withdrawal from the Strait of Hormuz conflict, as he urged European allies to buy U.S. oil and fight for themselves, effectively ending the war without reopening the strait. Evening reports detailed European allies denying U.S. military support, with Italy refusing base access and France denying overflight rights, while Iran offered conditional peace and Trump declared the war was ending.
