Zahedan Justice Attacked, Talks Conditioned

The morning's editorial focus in Iran maintained established narratives: the Supreme Leader's continued emphasis on accelerating defense and scientific progress, persistent warnings about deadly starvation in Gaza, and ongoing European pressure regarding nuclear commitments from previous Istanbul talks. However, a significant shift in editorial priority occurred by late morning with reports of an armed attack on the Zahedan Justice Department. This incident rapidly escalated, dominating headlines with evolving casualty figures, urgent security alerts, and later, official claims of the 'terrorist team's' destruction. The aftermath of the Zahedan attack remained central through the afternoon, with more details emerging on Jaish al-Adl's alleged involvement and reactions from local religious figures. Towards evening, diplomatic discourse re-emerged prominently, highlighting Iran's explicit demand for US security guarantees against military attacks as a prerequisite for renewed negotiations.
