10:37⇢Khamenei Claims Israel Nearly Collapsed
⌨The newspapers report on Supreme Leader Khamenei's third public message since the conflict began, claiming Israel "nearly collapsed and was crushed" under Iranian strikes and that America entered the war to prevent Israel's destruction (BBC Persian, Mehr News, Tasnim News, Al-Alam, Radio Farda). This marks his first extended public statement after remaining absent from public gatherings during the 12-day war. Simultaneously, Iran's parliament has voted to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, with the Guardian Council approving the measure as compliant with Islamic law and the constitution (BBC Persian). Germany called this decision a "mistake" and urged Iran not to pursue this path. Meanwhile, a US special envoy expressed hope for resuming negotiations with Iran (VOA Persian), while Iranian media report five doctors were killed during the 12-day conflict (Shargh Daily).
