The day was defined by two massive, simultaneous law enforcement operations. In the early morning, a nationwide FETÖ crackdown launched across 81 provinces with 968 detention orders, dominating headlines from Sözcü, Yeni Akit, and Gerçek Gündem. By mid-morning, the Ahbap investigation widened further: Haluk Levent was detained, MASAK reports revealed billions in transfers, and lawyer Ece Güner was taken into custody. By afternoon, international tensions over the Strait of Hormuz escalated, with Trump threatening a blockade and Iran vowing resistance, covered by Gerçek Gündem and Daily Sabah. In the evening, the KIZILELMA drone's supersonic missile test and new foreign-plated vehicle regulations emerged. CHP infighting continued, with Kılıçdaroğlu warning against party division. The day's editorial focus remained squarely on the twin domestic crackdowns, overshadowing foreign policy and technological milestones.
