⌨The newspapers report on Iran's diplomatic stance regarding potential US negotiations. President Pezeshkian emphasizes Iran believes in negotiations but "not at any cost" or "with humiliation," stating America must prove its seriousness about talks (Al-Alam, BBC Persian, Borna, Hamshahri, ISNA, Mehr, Tasnim English). Meanwhile, Russia has offered to mediate between Iran and the US, with a trilateral meeting between Iranian, Russian, and Chinese experts on Iran's nuclear program scheduled in Moscow (BBC Persian, Tasnim). Against this backdrop, US military movement in the region increases with aircraft carrier Carl Vinson entering the Indian Ocean (Iran International), while economic analysts warn tougher economic times lie ahead for Iran (Kayhan London).
