Iran's morning response to the IAEA Board resolution marked a shift from previous days' uranium cap offers to direct escalation, with atomic agency spokesman Kamalvandi announcing deployment of advanced centrifuges. This development followed the previous day's board vote against Iran's nuclear program.
By afternoon, coverage split between two parallel narratives: domestic media emphasized Pezeshkian's first provincial tour to Sistan-Baluchestan, while international attention focused on Larijani's signal of readiness for a "better" nuclear deal than JCPOA. The timing of this diplomatic opening coincided with the centrifuge escalation.
Evening brought renewed focus on regional tensions, with Hezbollah-Israel clashes intensifying near Haifa. Putin's announcement of untraceable hypersonic missile strikes in Ukraine received significant coverage, while state media continued emphasizing Iran's enrichment capability expansion as a "significant" response to the IAEA resolution.
