Morning coverage reflected a deep editorial split: state-aligned media focused on the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution (22 Bahman), emphasizing military parades and ballistic missile displays as signs of domestic strength. Simultaneously, international outlets reported on anti-government slogans and street confrontations that challenged the official narrative of unity. President Pezeshkian utilized the anniversary to signal nuclear transparency while rejecting missile negotiations. By afternoon, editorial attention shifted to Washington as Prime Minister Netanyahu arrived at the White House. International sources focused on President Trump’s ultimatum of 'very hard action' and his deployment of an additional carrier strike group if a comprehensive deal remains elusive. The evening cycle was dominated by the conclusion of the Trump-Netanyahu meeting, with editors highlighting Trump’s demand for a deal including missiles, while Iranian officials like Ali Larijani and Abbas Araghchi remained firm in state media that missile programs are non-negotiable despite the economic pressure of 92% inflation.
