The New York breakdown dominated overnight, with Axios cited that Rubio had told Araghchi's delegation to leave after stalemate over Tehran's seven-day proposal. Tehran denied expulsion, calling departure scheduled. Trump said he rejected Iran's Hormuz reopening offer as insufficient and left open further strikes.
The FlyDubai diversion and RAF Fairford case moved together. The UAE ordered a prosecution probe and FlyDubai suspended Israel flights, while Netanyahu said an Iranian link was under review and Trump asserted the co-pilot was connected to Iran. Britain detained a British-Iranian over Fairford; Araghchi rejected the charge and Tehran summoned the envoy.
Washington announced new measures against vehicle producers and the railway under an economic expulsion operation as the dollar neared 260,000 tomans. State outlets framed the end of the U.S. combat mission in Iraq as an expulsion, as Zahedan reported a checkpoint attack leaving six gunmen dead.

Trump's Alabama remark that the Iran war would end "immediately after" the midterms led coverage, paired with Axios reporting of secret Camp David talks on next steps in Iran and Yemen.
The rial slid to 266,000-270,000 to the dollar, euro over 300,000, on the week's first trading day; the central bank said the inflation-adjusted rate matched 2018, and the government announced a new economic arrangement.
Britain charged two Iranian asylum seekers over an alleged plot against Manchester Jews; a court hearing was held.
The judiciary confirmed execution of Siavash Jamshidi over Dey protests, while exile outlets reported a new death sentence for sending location data.
The UAE called the FlyDubai diversion a terrorist attack, saying the co-pilot attacked the pilot with an axe; reports of a projectile hitting a tanker off Oman followed.
Shargh noted IAEA delegation talks with Iran.

Trump's warning that a decision on Iran must be made and Tehran could choose an easy or difficult path led exile coverage, with claims Iran was badly weakened and had abandoned weapons pursuit. Tehran answered via Qalibaf and Araghchi that Washington had sent proposals through a mediator but offered nothing new, and Hormuz would stay closed until seven conditions were met, with any new attack answered more strongly.
The rial's slide continued past 272,000 to the dollar, which state media blamed on shallow, psychological trading.
Late in the day oil minister Mohsen Paknejad resigned and a caretaker was named, which exile outlets linked to a reported halt in crude loadings and U.S. economic pressure.
Yemen was presented as the same equation, with Houthi claims of missile strikes on Aramco and advances in Taiz amid Saudi airstrikes.

Exile outlets reported the judiciary carried out death sentences against Alireza Sepahi and Alireza Raisi, detained over Dey 1404 protests in Isfahan. Follow-up reports said authorities barred burial in their hometowns and cited UN concern over due process; state-aligned media did not acknowledge the cases.
Yemen fighting intensified on competing claims, with the Aden government announcing control of Bab al-Mandab and a push toward Sanaa backed by the Saudi-led coalition, while Houthi outlets claimed Taiz held. Domestic outlets reported missile and drone hits on Riyadh and Jeddah, flight suspensions and pipeline damage.
Washington confirmed all B-1 bombers left Fairford, with Trump blaming Tehran for the FlyDubai diversion as Vance cited no conclusive evidence. Tehran answered that Hormuz would stay closed until its conditions were met, Pezeshkian dismissed talks, and commanders warned any new attack would expand the war.

Exile outlets stayed with Washington's explanation that 12 B-1s left Fairford over a specific IRGC drone threat, reported by the New York Times, with Trump also holding Tehran responsible for the FlyDubai diversion despite Vance seeing no conclusive evidence.
Attention shifted to the Strait of Hormuz after a projectile hit a Panama-flagged tanker, wounding 12 crew and drawing Indian condemnation, while an IRGC adviser told Al-Alam the waterway remained closed under Iranian control. Reuters put Iranian exports at zero, Chinese refineries turned to Iraqi and Qatari crude, Shell put Gulf flows at 80% of pre-war levels, and traders warned of $200 oil; Washington said 130 ships had been diverted and banks dealing with Iran faced sanctions.
Qatar said indirect messaging continued after Pezeshkian called talks meaningless, as Tehran claimed arms output at 2.5 times pre-war levels and Yemen claimed strikes on Saudi Arabia.

Washington set terms for ending the seven-month war, with Vice President Vance demanding a meaningful, immediate cut to enrichment capacity and questioning how much authority Pezeshkian and Araghchi hold, while Secretary Rubio said Tehran had squandered multiple deal chances and Trump described Iran's situation as dire.
Tehran denied any nuclear negotiations had taken place, though Araghchi said Iranian conditions had been given to mediators in an operational plan, and the central bank insisted currency supply was assured.
Claims over Hormuz diverged, with US officials calling the strait open and Iranian outlets insisting it remained closed under Iranian control, citing a 60% fall in oil transit to 3.8 million barrels, a weekly peak in tanker attacks and a new strike north of Qatar. Yemen claimed missile and drone hits on Saudi airports and bases, with explosions in Riyadh and Saudi reports of three killed in Riyadh and Abha.
