The New York breakdown dominated overnight, with Axios cited that Rubio had told Araghchi's delegation to leave after stalemate over Tehran's seven-day proposal. Tehran denied expulsion, calling departure scheduled. Trump said he rejected Iran's Hormuz reopening offer as insufficient and left open further strikes.
The FlyDubai diversion and RAF Fairford case moved together. The UAE ordered a prosecution probe and FlyDubai suspended Israel flights, while Netanyahu said an Iranian link was under review and Trump asserted the co-pilot was connected to Iran. Britain detained a British-Iranian over Fairford; Araghchi rejected the charge and Tehran summoned the envoy.
Washington announced new measures against vehicle producers and the railway under an economic expulsion operation as the dollar neared 260,000 tomans. State outlets framed the end of the U.S. combat mission in Iraq as an expulsion, as Zahedan reported a checkpoint attack leaving six gunmen dead.
