The day was marked by two significant developments. Early reporting focused on nuclear diplomacy, with the Supreme Leader reportedly urging Qatari mediation and Foreign Minister Araqchi heading to Cairo for talks with IAEA Director General Grossi. By late morning, reports indicated a potential Iran-IAEA deal was at hand, a development that reportedly impacted currency and gold prices. In the afternoon, regional tensions dramatically escalated with multiple explosions in Doha, Qatar. Numerous Iranian outlets reported Israel claiming responsibility for targeting Hamas leaders in these attacks, a move condemned by Qatar as "cowardly." This unprecedented operation on Qatari soil led to Qatar suspending its mediation efforts in the Gaza conflict. In the evening, the nuclear story culminated with Iran and the IAEA confirming a new cooperation protocol in Cairo, with Araqchi warning cooperation would end if sanctions returned.
