Iranian media heavily focused on Foreign Minister Araqchi's letter to the UN, demanding US reparations for alleged Israeli aggression, particularly after President Trump's statements of responsibility (Al-Alam, BBC Persian, ISNA, Tasnim News, Tasnim News English). The 12-day war was a recurring theme, with a military official stating all superpowers failed against Iran. Later in the day, a government poll indicated 92% public dissatisfaction, while a political figure warned of serious signals from self-immolation and suicide (Kayhan London, Borna News). Concurrently, a Reuters report suggested a "dual reality" of reduced hijab restrictions coinciding with deeper political repression (Iran International). The US government shutdown's end also received attention.
