12:02⇢Iron Dome Under Fire
⌨The newspapers report that European diplomacy faces mounting pressure as France's Iron Dome effectiveness comes under scrutiny, with BFMTV questioning whether Israel's $50,000-per-missile defense system shows signs of weakness against Iran's multiplying attacks. European foreign ministers from France, Germany, and Britain prepare to meet their Iranian counterpart Friday afternoon with a "complete negotiation offer," as Macron warns that "no one should neglect the risk of a nuclear-armed Iran" (Le Monde, Le Parisien, Libération). Meanwhile, France grapples with an unprecedented heat wave as Le Figaro projects climate scenarios showing up to 24 days of heat waves or 100 tropical nights annually by 2050, while France TV Info examines common cooling myths during the current high temperatures. Domestically, Le Point reports a "cocaine tsunami" hitting France with record-low wholesale prices due to exploding global production and increasingly pure drugs reaching the market.
