Turkish media editors maintained divided priorities throughout March 18, with opposition outlets continuing to focus on domestic political commentary and legal cases. Morning coverage centered on international developments as multiple outlets reported Iran confirming the death of National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani, with Gerçek Gündem, Daily Sabah, and Bianet all covering the confirmation. This international focus persisted through the afternoon as Gerçek Gündem and Bianet reported Iran's rejection of a ceasefire in the ongoing US-Israel-Iran conflict, while Daily Sabah covered Foreign Minister Fidan's attendance at a Riyadh meeting on Iran tensions. Evening reports included Hürriyet and OdaTV covering President Erdoğan's phone call with Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, continuing the diplomatic engagement narrative from previous days.
