The day's editorial attention became increasingly dominated by the nuclear deal's snapback mechanism. Early reports sustained discussions on diplomacy and a continued skepticism toward US intentions, with US President Trump's "midnight hammer" rhetoric also featured. By mid-morning, French officials issued a clear deadline, stating the snapback would activate by late August without negotiation progress. This prospect intensified discussions on potential Iran-US talks and Iran's military preparedness, with some outlets emphasizing Iran's "trump card." Concurrently, Foreign Minister Araqchi sought support from Shanghai Cooperation Organization members, including Russia and China, against perceived US-Zionist aggression. The evening continued to focus on the August deadline, alongside skepticism regarding past agreements, and an Iraqi official's warning of likely Israeli attacks.
