07:07⇢Indirect US-Iran Talks Confirmed For Saturday in Oman
⌨The newspapers report on upcoming indirect talks between Iran and the US scheduled for Saturday in Oman at a high level. Foreign Minister Araghchi clearly states these will be indirect negotiations (Al-Alam, BBC Persian, Hamshahri, Iran International, Radio Farda, Tasnim), contradicting Trump's claim of direct talks during his meeting with Netanyahu. Iranian media specifies Araghchi and US counterpart Brett McGurk will meet in Muscat (Tasnim). Meanwhile, domestic concerns focus on an unprecedented electricity shortage expected this summer, with potential 20,000 megawatt gap between production capacity and demand (ISNA), while cultural sector disputes involve allegations of financial misconduct at Cinemashahr (Borna).
