⌨The newspapers report extensively on Ali Larijani's statement that Iran would be forced to develop nuclear weapons if attacked by the US or Israel (Al-Alam, BBC Persian, Hamshahri, Iran International, Radio Farda). This follows Iran's letter to the UN Secretary-General rejecting recent US presidential statements as violations of international law, with Iran's UN representative Iravani warning that any "aggressive action" would receive a "swift and decisive response" (BBC Persian, ISNA). Meanwhile, domestic news mentions traffic arrangements for Nature Day (Mehr) and former parliament speaker Motahari's views on relations with America and hijab enforcement (Khabar Online).
