Trump publicly contradicted his Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Iran's nuclear capabilities, declaring her assessment "wrong" and claiming Iran possessed "tremendous amounts" of nuclear material. This unprecedented rejection of his own intelligence chief occurred as diplomatic efforts collapsed—Iran rejected Trump's two-week negotiation deadline while European ministers failed to secure any breakthrough in Geneva talks.
Courts delivered mixed rulings on Trump's authority. An appeals court allowed him to maintain control of California's National Guard troops in Los Angeles, but a federal judge blocked his attempt to end Harvard's international student program and ordered the release of detained Columbia activist Mahmoud Khalil.
The Iran crisis intensified with Israeli strikes hitting a third Iranian hospital and contamination reported at the Natanz nuclear facility. Sources revealed Trump was "refining" strike plans while hundreds of American citizens fled Iran. Netanyahu declared Israel capable of striking Iran's Fordow nuclear site without US support.

Iran launched three separate missile barrages throughout the day, escalating from overnight drone attacks to a major daytime assault. The morning attack struck Beersheba with a 300-kilogram missile, causing property damage and five light injuries, one day after the Soroka Hospital strike.
Israeli media reported the assassination of a senior Iranian nuclear scientist in central Tehran, struck by a drone in his apartment after being relocated for security reasons. The targeted killing marked Israel's direct targeting of nuclear program personnel.
Iran's largest daytime barrage followed at midday, firing 20-30 missiles nationwide that wounded 45 people in Haifa, including three critically. A 51-year-old woman died of cardiac arrest during the sirens.
Trump explained his two-week ultimatum to Iran, saying "maybe they'll come to their senses" while noting Israel was "doing well." Israeli cabinet approved four war objectives, with Chief of Staff Zamir declaring readiness for "prolonged campaign" as media reported 5 million people had fled Tehran.

Trump stepped back from imminent military action against Iran, postponing strikes that appeared ready to proceed from his previous two-week deadline. German Foreign Ministry official Wadephul met directly with Iran's Foreign Minister while new rocket attacks continued, suggesting diplomatic channels remained active despite escalation.
The Bundeswehr evacuated approximately 70 Germans from Israel amid the intensifying conflict, with hundreds more stranded. Netanyahu's wartime political surge dominated analysis as outlets examined his decades-long anti-Iran mission.
Domestically, former Health Minister Spahn faced a critical week with parliamentary hearings beginning Monday over the mask procurement scandal. Courts released the suspected killer in the Hanna murder case, lifting his arrest warrant. ArcelorMittal's cancellation of "green steel" projects exposed German energy policy failures, with production shifting to nuclear-powered countries despite billion-euro subsidies.

European diplomats scrambled to prevent escalation as Iran launched fresh missiles at Israeli cities, striking Haifa and injuring nineteen people. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot joined German and British counterparts in Geneva for emergency talks with Iran's representative, offering what Macron called a "complete negotiation offer" to Tehran.
Iran signaled conditional openness to diplomacy, stating it would "consider" negotiations "once the aggression is stopped," while European officials insisted there was no "definitive solution through military means" to the nuclear standoff. Trump dismissed European mediation efforts entirely, declaring "Europe will not be able to help" resolve the conflict and giving himself a maximum two-week deadline for potential American intervention.
Domestically, France grappled with its first major heat wave as sixteen departments entered orange alert with temperatures reaching 38°C. The Jubillar murder case saw justice reject demands for new excavations, while two butcher shops in Aisne were shuttered after a fatal food poisoning outbreak killed a twelve-year-old child.

MPs voted to legalise assisted dying by a narrow margin of 23 votes, marking the most significant social legislation since same-sex marriage. The emotional Commons debate left some MPs in tears before the historic decision emerged in early afternoon.
Trump's two-week deadline for Iran action created diplomatic space that European ministers immediately exploited. UK and EU officials held talks with Iran's foreign minister in Geneva, though Iran maintained it would only consider diplomacy once "aggression stops." The diplomatic window proved fragile as Iran launched new strikes on Israel by afternoon, prompting Britain to withdraw embassy staff from Tehran.
The assisted dying vote dominated domestic coverage, with Conservative outlets framing it as parliament embracing a "death cult" while supporters celebrated the breakthrough. Pro-Palestine activists breached an RAF airfield and damaged military aircraft, leading to Palestine Action being designated a terrorist organisation under new legislation.

Putin's St. Petersburg Economic Forum speech delivered sweeping territorial claims about Ukraine, declaring "all of Ukraine is ours" while stating Russia doesn't seek Ukraine's "capitulation" but demands recognition of "realities on the ground." He suggested Russia might take the Ukrainian city of Sumy and warned that any Ukrainian use of a "dirty bomb" would be Ukraine's "last mistake."
The messaging contradicted economic realities, as Putin claimed Russia leads Europe economically despite Sberbank's Gref describing an "ideal storm" hitting the Russian economy. Finance Minister Siluanov promised no tax increases while acknowledging the budget is "seriously storming."
A prisoner exchange occurred between Russia and Ukraine under Istanbul agreements, continuing the diplomatic opening from previous days.
