The contradiction between Iranian and American narratives intensified as Supreme Leader Khamenei met with teachers, dismissing Trump's peace claims as "lies" and declaring the Zionist regime "must be uprooted" from the region. This followed two days of conflicting statements, with Trump claiming Iran had received a written nuclear proposal while Foreign Minister Araghchi continued denying this.

Khamenei praised President Pezeshkian's focus on education, asserting that "investment in education yields multiple returns" and is not an expense. He also instructed that US embassy documents be included in school textbooks.

International complications emerged as three Iranian nationals in Britain were charged with security crimes, allegedly targeting Iran International journalists. BBC investigations claimed Iran uses criminal gangs for foreign assassinations.

Domestically, news outlets reported rising Omicron cases, power cuts affecting industries, and disputes over internet costs with claims that Irancell has abandoned 5G development.
