⌨Iranian media is heavily focused on the US government shutdown (Iran International, Radio Farda, Shargh Daily) following a budget dispute between Republicans and Democrats. Concurrently, state-aligned Tasnim News reports Russia's claim that efforts to revive sanctions against Iran are baseless. The ongoing discussion about a potential Gaza peace plan also persists (Kayhan, Tehran Times).
