07.07.2026The Day US Struck Iran and Platner's Campaign Collapsed

The day was dominated by two escalating stories: US military strikes on Iran and the implosion of Graham Platner's Senate campaign. Morning coverage centered on Trump's arrival at the NATO summit in Turkey, with tensions over Iran and defense spending. Simultaneously, the sexual assault allegation against Platner led Democrats to pull endorsements and Platner to consider dropping out. By afternoon, Trump announced lifting Turkey sanctions and considering F-35 sales, while Bernie Sanders joined calls for Platner to exit. The Platner scandal deepened with new allegations of condom removal without consent. Evening headlines shifted abruptly as the US launched strikes on Iran after attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, revoking Iran's oil license. Coverage of the strikes and Platner's fallout continued through the night, with Iran threatening a 'crushing response'.
