11.07.2026 ⇢ The Day Iran Closed the Strait of Hormuz
⌨
The day was dominated by the rapid escalation of US-Iran tensions, culminating in Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Morning headlines focused on Trump's threats to destroy Iran if assassinated, following calls for his killing at Khamenei's funeral, and the housing bill becoming law without his signature. By early afternoon, explosions were reported in Tehran, and Trump revealed a standing order to strike Iran if targeted. The DOJ's subpoena of NYT reporters over an Air Force One story drew condemnation. In the evening, Iran's IRGC announced the Strait of Hormuz was closed after firing on a container ship, prompting immediate US retaliatory strikes. The Graham Platner scandal and Maine Senate race continued to receive coverage, but were overshadowed by the war developments.
