10:35⇢Shamkhani Returns to Public Eye
⌨The newspapers report on Tehran's state funeral for 60 casualties from the Israeli strikes, with extensive coverage of high-ranking officials attending the ceremonies (BBC Persian, Khabar Online, Radio Farda, Tasnim News). The event marked the first public appearance of Ali Shamkhani, the Supreme Leader's political advisor, since he was wounded in the Israeli attack on his residence during the 12-day conflict. Foreign Minister Araghchi used the occasion to declare that Iran "is unfamiliar with the word surrender," stating that "Iranians gave blood, but gave no soil" (Tasnim News). A senior Iranian general issued a "stern warning" to America, while government officials praised public turnout at the funeral as transforming "threats into unity" (Al-Alam News Network, Mehr News). Meanwhile, concerns persist about the fate of political prisoners held at Evin Prison following the Israeli strike, with continued uncertainty about their conditions (Kayhan London).
