Iranian media extensively reported on the departure of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors from Iran, with various outlets noting their return to Vienna and citing security concerns for their withdrawal. This development follows previous days' focus on the nuclear program. Concurrently, US President Trump's repeated willingness to meet with Iranian officials continued to feature prominently, though Iran's interim Friday prayer leader firmly rejected any talk of surrender. Against a backdrop of renewed Israeli threats regarding air superiority over Tehran, Iranian President Pezeshkian lauded Iran's armed forces for teaching "Zionist aggressors" a "great lesson" and urged "Islamic Ummah" cohesion as the sole means to halt Zionist crimes. Separately, the President attended the ECO Summit in Azerbaijan. New domestic coverage also emerged concerning a ban on civilian drone imports and police facility attacks linked to espionage investigations.
