Early in the day, Iranian media highlighted economic instability, with reports on the Rial's continued devaluation and the Central Bank's prohibition of cryptocurrency use. Concurrently, the Israeli army warned Iran had resumed large-scale ballistic missile production, a topic further discussed in a confidential meeting between the Israeli army and Knesset representatives later.
The focus shifted midday to a significant diplomatic development: Iraq officially removed Hezbollah Lebanon and Ansarallah from its list of terrorist groups, a move Tasnim News had previously anticipated. Iran's President was also set to visit Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.
In the afternoon, Iran, China, and Saudi Arabia collectively demanded a halt to Israeli attacks, as reports emerged of Israeli forces clashing with Syrian citizens. Donald Trump's criticisms of European leaders regarding migration and the Ukraine war also gained traction in Iranian reports.
