The day began with reports of renewed US-Iran strikes and the execution of two more January protesters. By mid-morning, Foreign Ministry spokesman Baqaei complained of shifting US demands, while Trump called a potential deal 'good for America.' The editorial focus shifted decisively in the afternoon when Iran announced it was halting message exchanges with the US in protest at Israeli strikes on Lebanon. State-aligned media warned that breaching the truce on one front meant breaching it on all fronts. By evening, the IRGC's Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters warned northern Israeli residents to evacuate if Beirut's Dahieh was bombed. Trump denied sending Israeli troops to Beirut and claimed talks were proceeding rapidly, but Iran's halt dominated the narrative.

The day began with IRGC claims of targeting an Israeli-American ship and Qalibaf's threat to confront Israel if Lebanon attacks continued. By afternoon, Rubio stated opening the Strait of Hormuz was a first condition for talks but insufficient for sanctions relief, while Iran-aligned media reported message exchanges had halted. The editorial focus shifted when Trump denied reports of halted negotiations, claiming talks continue daily. State-aligned outlets emphasized funeral preparations for the late Supreme Leader Khamenei, with three days of ceremonies planned. Foreign-based sources highlighted Netanyahu's threat to 'erase Iran from the world' at the new Mossad chief's appointment and new US sanctions. The day's narrative centered on contradictory signals about diplomatic channels amid military posturing and leadership transition.
