The morning began with Iranian state media responding to the display of a Shahed-136 drone at CPAC in Washington, while continuing coverage of Trump's "maximum pressure" statements. Environmental concerns took center stage as Pezeshkian advocated for electric vehicle infrastructure, marking a shift from previous days' focus on currency markets.

By midday, Hamas returned four Israeli hostages' bodies through the Red Cross, while IRGC commander Salami emphasized Iran's stance against global powers. Radio Farda reported a 70% increase in capital flight through cryptocurrencies, connecting to ongoing economic instability.

Evening coverage returned to the CPAC drone display, with opposition media emphasizing its significance as evidence of Iran's regional role. The dollar crossed 94,000 tomans, while the IAEA chief described the JCPOA as an "empty shell," prompting responses from Iran's atomic energy organization.
