08:19⇢Iran's Commanders Fall
⌨Russian media continue to prioritize coverage of the escalating conflict between Iran and the US-Israel alliance, with new reports confirming the deaths of Iran's top military commanders (TASS, Lenta.ru, NTV.ru, RIA Novosti) and Iran's refusal to negotiate with the US (NTV.ru). This builds upon earlier coverage of Iran's declaration of holy war and retaliatory strikes (RT, Komsomolskaya Pravda, Svoboda.org). The death of playwright Nikolai Kolyada (Vesti, Meduza) appears as a secondary domestic story.
