13.07.2026 ⇢ The Day Trump Reinstated the Strait of Hormuz Blockade
⌨
The day's dominant story was Trump's reinstatement of the Strait of Hormuz blockade and demand for a 20% toll on cargo, escalating the US-Iran conflict into a third night of strikes. Coverage began with the death of Senator Lindsey Graham still leading, but by early afternoon, Trump's announcement of the blockade and fee dominated across outlets. A federal judge's referral of Trump's attorneys for discipline over an IRS settlement also drew attention. In the evening, the appointment of Graham's sister Darline Graham Nordone to his Senate seat became the secondary focus, alongside an ICE-involved fatal shooting in Maine. The day saw a shift from Graham's death to the Strait of Hormuz as the primary editorial priority, with the blockade and toll seen as a major escalation.
