Borna News frames Doha as hub for a Tehran-Washington deal as state outlets tout Rezaei's seven conditions (Borna News, Tasnim).
Front pages diverge with no shared lead after sustained focus on the Krakow attack aftermath. TVN24 turns to weather, forecasting up to five centimetres of snow including in Mazowsze (TVN24). wPolityce shifts to a media-political exchange, reporting Bodnar approaching Stanowski as 'horse courtship' (wPolityce). The previous convergence on presidential visits and personal accounts drops from the lead headlines.

Some note recollections of Rajiv and Rigvedic verses.
Coverage pivots to Trump's declaration that the war with Iran is militarily 'effectively over' with a deal within reach (Times, N12, Israel Hayom, Mako, Srugim, Davar, Kikar), noting his pledge to maintain economic pressure while Tehran denies talks and sets conditions.

Gaza recovery diplomacy over crossings and cement recedes.
