IAEA Director Grossi's Tehran visit dominated morning coverage, meeting with Araghchi and Eslami while European powers prepared a new resolution regarding uranium particles. Iranian officials maintained their dual stance: expressing willingness to cooperate while warning of immediate responses to any pressure.
By afternoon, attention shifted to Damascus, where missiles struck near Ali Larijani's location, though claims of targeting were denied. The incident highlighted Iran's vulnerable position in Syria amid escalating regional tensions.
President Pezeshkian's meetings with Grossi demonstrated a slight shift in nuclear diplomacy approach, while maintaining firm positions on inspections. Evening coverage revealed details of agreements reached with IAEA, though specifics remained vague. Reports of IRGC casualties in Rasak exercises and a Chinese refinery switching from Iranian oil to African sources indicated continuing pressure on Tehran's strategic positions.
