Iranian media on October 15 maintained a strong focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with early reports detailing the Red Cross returning four more hostage bodies to Israel after Hamas's initial four-body return. Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the need for Hamas to disarm, with threats of consequences if they refused. By mid-morning, Israel questioned one of the four bodies returned by Hamas, stating it was not a hostage. Concurrently, a British think tank warned the Islamic Republic could undermine long-term peace in Gaza. In the afternoon, Pakistan announced a 'temporary ceasefire' following airstrikes in Kabul and Kandahar, with continued reporting on the return of bodies by Hamas, though they stated they lacked advanced equipment to recover more.
