Iran war live: Hormuz Strait closed until US meets seven agreed conditions
Era of 'wasting time and dictating demands is over'; US must fulfill MoU, top Iranian negotiator says.
What the coverage shows
The outlets converge on Trump’s Iran war as the central frame, with CBS News and Breaking Points pairing it with domestic political fallout and supporter discontent. The New York Times is the only outlet here to foreground the war’s effect on extremists in Iran, while The Independent uniquely leads with reported tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and a “secret” meeting involving Trump aides. CBS News splits between campaign coverage and a troop buildup report.
