The day began with reports of a metro breakdown on the Kadıköy-Sabiha Gökçen line and Iran's controversial decision drawing Turkish reactions. By mid-morning, the İmamoğlu trial saw him rebuke the court for avoiding proceedings, with the case adjourned. Around 10:18 AM, headlines broke that Iran had struck a US vessel near the Strait of Hormuz, with Aydinlik and Daily Sabah reporting the claim, while Gerçek Gündem noted US denial. The story escalated throughout the day: by 5:51 PM, CENTCOM confirmed the attack, and Trump threatened to 'erase Iran from the map.' Meanwhile, President Erdoğan announced a 9-day holiday for Kurban Bayramı, and a court blocked the Ministry of Education's strike-breaking measure at a private Italian high school. The day also saw a tragic family poisoning in Mersin and a luxury cruise ship outbreak leaving three dead.
