13.06.2025Day the Bombs Fell While Recordings Played
Israeli forces struck Iranian nuclear facilities overnight, killing the Revolutionary Guard chief and triggering Iran's massive missile retaliation by evening. Hundreds of ballistic missiles hit Tel Aviv, causing dozens of injuries and one death across three waves of attacks.

The UCO corruption recordings dominated domestic coverage, revealing the financial mechanics behind Santos Cerdán's resignation the previous day. Audio captured Koldo telling Cerdán "I need some money, boss, because I gave it all to him" regarding Ábalos, while other recordings showed discussions of 450,000-euro payments and crude comments about placing associates in government positions. The investigation now implicates Venezuelan oil money and resurrects accusations of rigged 2014 PSOE primaries.

Government spokesperson Bolaños ruled out a confidence vote while former Andalusian leader Susana Díaz joined calls for early elections, describing reaching 2027 as "announcing a slow death" for the party. The escalating Middle East conflict overshadowed but did not eclipse the corruption scandal's expanding reach into PSOE's core structure.
