The day was dominated by the culmination of the US-Iran peace deal narrative. Morning headlines focused on Scotland's World Cup win over Haiti and the Restore Britain neo-Nazi scandal, but by evening, Trump's confirmation of the deal and the Strait of Hormuz reopening took over.

The Royal Marines' boarding of a Russian shadow fleet tanker in the Channel was a secondary morning story, while a helicopter crash killing singer Oliver Tree and violent G7 protests in Geneva featured later.
