The day's editorial focus culminated in the activation of the snapback mechanism by European powers, a development anticipated since the 'last chance' Geneva talks. Early reports detailed the impending initiation, which by midday was formally confirmed across Iranian and international media through a letter to the UN Security Council. Iran's Foreign Minister Araqchi promptly condemned the action as "illegal and unjustified," threatening "appropriate responses" and signaling a potential cessation of cooperation with the IAEA. This move, welcomed by the United States, triggers a 30-day legal process, with European officials stating it does not signify the end of diplomacy. Separately, some outlets reported a "rapid cleanup" of a nuclear site in Tehran following alleged Israeli attacks. Domestically, discussions began to surface regarding Tehran's critical juncture, weighing options between a "suicidal policy" and "diplomatic flexibility" in its response.
