יום התרגילים הימיים והלחץ הכלכלי

Iranian media initially continued to report on the World Cup 2026 draw, detailing Iran's grouping with Belgium, Egypt, and New Zealand. However, a significant shift occurred later in the morning with renewed emphasis on military developments. The IRGC announced a new missile capable of exceeding the Persian Gulf's geographical range, a claim reiterated multiple times throughout the day, suggesting a focus on projecting military power.

Economic issues also gained prominence, with reports of the Iranian Rial reaching a new record low against the dollar and stagnant economic growth. Simultaneously, the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia was highlighted as potentially altering the regional power balance with Tehran. Diplomatic activities were also noted, including Qatar's position on a Gaza ceasefire being contingent on a full Israeli withdrawal, and continued reporting on the return of undocumented migrants from the U.S.
