The day was dominated by a clash over the timing of a US-Iran deal. In the morning, Pakistan's prime minister claimed a memorandum would be finalized within 24 hours, a timeline echoed by Trump in the afternoon. Trump stated the deal would be signed Sunday, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and warned of a 'final alternative' if it failed. Iran's foreign ministry denied any travel plans for signing, while state-aligned media focused on funeral preparations for the martyred leader and Hezbollah's drone strikes. Exile outlets highlighted US downing of Iranian drones and Trump's reposting of Pakistan's claim. By evening, the narrative split persisted: exile sources reported imminent signing, state sources denied it, and both sides continued to contest the terms.
