Iranian media maintained a strong focus on the nuclear program and the aftermath of recent conflicts. Early reports detailed new plasma technology for enrichment, with officials condemning hardline calls against IAEA Director-General Grossi while affirming a refusal to halt enrichment. The parliament's law to suspend IAEA cooperation was declared binding, deepening the nuclear standoff.
Mid-day coverage brought President Pezeshkian's forceful criticism of the IAEA's "double standards," asserting they undermined regional security. This was followed by satellite imagery reportedly showing heavy machinery activity at the Fordow nuclear facility. Amidst these nuclear developments, a new narrative emerged: the alleged assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists, dubbed "Operation Narnia."
Later, media highlighted Iran's formal request for the UN to condemn the US and Israel as aggressors, citing high casualty figures from recent attacks. Military officials claimed enhanced readiness and successful missile strikes on enemy bases. The White House confirmed ongoing US-Tehran contacts, contrasting with Trump's denials, while local reports noted defensive tests in Tehran.
