The day was dominated by Donald Trump's escalating claims of victory over Iran. In the morning, he criticized the Senate's war-powers resolution as aiding the enemy and declared Iran ready to surrender. By midday, he asserted Iran would not levy tolls in the Strait of Hormuz, contradicting earlier reports. In the afternoon, he announced US inspectors would join IAEA visits to nuclear sites, a claim Tehran immediately denied. By evening, Trump stated Iran was forced to agree to all his demands, while Iranian officials insisted defense capabilities were non-negotiable. State-aligned media focused on Ashura ceremonies and Qalibaf's diplomatic trip, downplaying the nuclear inspection dispute. Exile sources highlighted the contradiction between Trump's narrative and Iran's refusal to grant access to damaged facilities, framing the day as a propaganda escalation ahead of technical talks in Switzerland.
