09:37⇢Trump Lands in Saudi Arabia as Housing Prices Soar in Tehran
⌨The newspapers report extensively on Donald Trump's arrival in Saudi Arabia for his first official regional tour of his second term (Al-Alam, BBC Persian, Radio Farda, Shargh Daily). Trump will meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, focusing primarily on trade issues during his visits to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE. Shargh Daily notes a lavish reception awaits Trump with promises of trillion-dollar investments, though Gaza conflict complicates Saudi-Israeli normalization efforts. Domestically, Iran faces economic challenges with Tehran housing prices increasing by 2400% over eight years (Kayhan London) and concerns about import policies threatening domestic medical equipment production (Mehr News). First Vice President Aref emphasizes scientific diplomacy as providing "political immunity" to Iran and potentially reversing migration trends (ISNA, Borna News).
