Today’s paper edition of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) weekend edition was filled with Iran-related headlines. I picked up a copy this morning, not knowing that a few hours later all the coverage would be obsolete.
Still, this morning’s edition may serve as a time capsule of the world as it existed on June 20, 2025:
- Iran remains defiant as Israel fights on (A-1), continued on A-10 as “Outlook for diplomacy darkens”
- Pressure builds on Iran as diplomacy stalls (A-8)
- Israel burns through interceptors as U.S. races to help (A-8)
- Is Iran close to the bomb? (A-1)
- Iranian Jews in U.S. dream of ‘Free Iran’ (A-11)
- Iran is down, but not yet out (A-13)
- How Iran is playing Trump’s reprieve (A-14)
- A bad time to stifle Radio Free Iran (A-14)
- Iraq’s shadow over the Iran debate (A-15)
- Middle East conflict fuels oil-price rally (B-10)
- Calls for Iranians to rise up misunderstand Iran (C-5)
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
