Iranian media began the day with continued coverage of the country's ongoing placement on the FATF blacklist, echoing concerns from the previous day. Concurrently, state-aligned outlets reported on Iran, Russia, and China's demand for the IAEA to cease quarterly reports on Tehran's nuclear program. By midday, statements from former Foreign Minister Araghchi gained prominence across multiple sources, emphasizing Iran's capacity to resist global powers and framing the nuclear program as a tool for asserting independence. The day concluded with further criticism directed at FATF for maintaining Iran on its blacklist, with media questioning the financial watchdog's impartiality.
