Nuclear diplomacy remained a dominant focus in Iranian media, as reports detailed Iran's specific conditions for potential talks with the United States, including guaranteed enrichment and compensation, building on previous days' demands. Concurrently, European positions hardened, with the United Kingdom explicitly rejecting Iran's rationale for 60% uranium enrichment and labeling it a "real threat." An Iranian official underscored the complexity of ongoing nuclear discussions with Europe, and Iran asserted no agreement would occur if zero enrichment was insisted upon. Separately, the return of IAEA inspectors in the coming weeks was announced. The ongoing US-Russia tensions regarding President Trump's nuclear submarine deployments also continued to receive prominent coverage. In regional news, Hamas conditioned disarmament on a Palestinian state, while the IRGC rejected a two-state solution as an "evil scheme," amidst discussions of a US peace plan. President Pezeshkian's visit to Pakistan, aimed at bolstering trade, gained attention, alongside persistent domestic reports on Tehran's severe water crisis.
