The day was dominated by two escalating stories. Overnight, Belfast erupted in riots after a knife attack by a Sudanese asylum seeker, with masked rioters burning migrants' homes, cars, and a bus. By morning, the suspect was named in court, where it emerged the victim lost an eye. Editors across outlets led with the violence, political condemnation, and the victim's family's appeals for calm. The Spectator and others highlighted a border loophole. By afternoon, attention shifted to Trump threatening to hit Iran 'hard' again after strikes the previous day, with new exchanges and peace talks in doubt. The Belfast story continued into the evening with a second night of clashes and fake 'hitlists' circulating, while the Iran threat remained prominent.
