The Day Sanctions Tightened, US Government Shut Down

Iranian media heavily focused on the US government shutdown due to a budget dispute, which began in the early hours. Concurrently, reports indicated Russia's dismissal of efforts to reinstate sanctions against Iran as baseless. Throughout the morning, discussions continued regarding Trump's peace plan for Gaza, with Hamas rejecting it. Later in the morning, state media reported on the government's plan to ratify a counter-plan against the snapback mechanism. By the afternoon, the US imposed sanctions on networks supplying weapons to Iran. The G7 called for Iran's cooperation with the IAEA and negotiations with the US, and Iran International reported that the UK reimposed sanctions on 121 individuals and entities related to Iran's nuclear and missile programs.
