June
Foreign Minister Araqchi announced Iran was preparing its response to America's nuclear proposal, advancing the diplomatic process that began when Oman delivered Washington's terms yesterday. The White House simultaneously urged Tehran to accept what spokesperson Caroline Levitt called a "detailed and acceptable" proposal that serves Iran's interests.

Iran escalated confrontation with the IAEA, with Araqchi warning Director General Grossi that Tehran would respond to any "inappropriate European moves" at next week's Board of Governors meeting. Iranian officials rejected the agency's upcoming report on uranium activities as politically motivated, while the IAEA confirmed Iran's 60% enriched uranium stockpile had increased.

President Pezeshkian nominated Seyed Ali Madanizadeh as Economy Minister, while setting a $20 billion trade target with Oman. Regional tensions spiked when Yemen launched 43 missiles at Israel, forcing closure of Ben Gurion Airport, as Ukraine claimed destroying 40 Russian bombers in massive drone operations.
Iran's response to America's nuclear proposal crystallized through Foreign Minister Araqchi's statements in Cairo, where he met with IAEA Director General Grossi and Egyptian officials. Iranian media reported America had suspended new sanctions while Tehran prepared its reply, but Araqchi firmly rejected any deal without guaranteed enrichment rights on Iranian soil.

The diplomatic confrontation intensified as Iran dismissed the latest IAEA report as European manipulation, with spokesman Baghaei stating no understanding would emerge unless sanctions were transparently lifted. Reports surfaced that America's proposal included limited enrichment on Iranian territory, but Iran rejected the accompanying regional consortium arrangement.

By evening, Axios reported Washington's offer would permit restricted uranium enrichment inside Iran, marking a potential shift in American positions. Yemen's missile strike on Ben Gurion Airport punctuated regional tensions, while domestic coverage focused on government salary increases and President Pezeshkian's cooperation initiatives with Basij forces.
Foreign Minister Araqchi declared America's written nuclear proposal contained "many ambiguities" and promised Iran would respond "in the coming days," continuing the diplomatic exchange that began when Oman delivered Washington's terms last week. This followed Trump's renewed demand for complete uranium enrichment cessation, to which Araqchi responded that continuing enrichment on Iranian soil remained a red line.

The White House warned of "serious consequences" if Iran rejected the proposal, with the State Department threatening to resume "maximum pressure" campaigns with "full force." Iranian officials dismissed these threats while President Pezeshkian declared Iran would never abandon its nuclear rights.

The diplomatic standoff unfolded against backdrop of Israeli forces killing dozens at a Gaza food distribution center, which Iranian media characterized as a massacre. Parliament Speaker Qalibaf continued his Cuba visit, emphasizing shared anti-colonial objectives, while domestic reports focused on proposed wage system reforms and parliamentary scrutiny of the economy minister nominee's foreign educational credentials.
Supreme Leader Khamenei delivered Iran's definitive rejection of American nuclear proposals during Imam Khomeini's death anniversary commemoration. Speaking at the mausoleum, he declared uranium enrichment "the key to the nuclear issue" and stated it was "none of America's business" whether Iran possessed enrichment capabilities. He dismissed the American consortium proposal as "100 percent against the 'We Can' principle."

The rejection marked the culmination of a week-long diplomatic exchange that began with Oman delivering Washington's terms. Foreign Minister Araqchi reinforced the position, stating no agreement would emerge without enrichment guarantees. Trump responded by revealing Putin's willingness to join nuclear negotiations, accusing Iran of deliberately delaying decisions.

Iranian media portrayed the day as vindicating national sovereignty while reporting on domestic economic pressures including triple-digit food inflation. The armed forces general staff issued a statement supporting Khamenei's stance, declaring readiness to confront "enemy mischief and strategic errors."

An analyst suggested Saudi Arabia remains unlikely to join such arrangements, viewing Iranian-Western normalization as detrimental.

Iran's national football team lost 1-0 to Qatar in World Cup qualifying, while Israeli forces launched extensive attacks on southern Beirut by evening.
Foreign Minister Araqchi announced Iran would provide its "appropriate answer" to America's nuclear proposal within days, marking the first diplomatic movement since Khamenei's definitive rejection two days earlier. The timing suggested potential re-engagement despite the Supreme Leader's harsh stance on June 4th.

Morning coverage focused on Iran's warnings to European powers ahead of the June 9th IAEA Board of Governors meeting, with Tehran threatening "decisive response" to any violation of its rights. IAEA Director General Grossi acknowledged Iran's nuclear capabilities cannot be eliminated while warning that Iran possesses materials necessary for nuclear weapons.

By afternoon, Washington imposed sanctions on over 30 individuals and companies linked to Iran's "shadow banking system," targeting the Zarrinqalam Brothers money-laundering network. Iranian media reported the country had ordered "thousands of tons of materials needed for ballistic missile fuel" from China.

The diplomatic positioning suggested both sides maneuvering before the IAEA meeting while maintaining public confrontation.
Iranian state media claimed the country executed "one of the biggest intelligence strikes in history" against Israel, allegedly obtaining sensitive Israeli documents. The announcement came as Iran accused Israel of sabotage at nuclear sites in Varamin and Torghuzabad, where IAEA inspectors detected uranium traces.

President Pezeshkian maintained Iran's position from previous days, stating the country remains ready for nuclear inspections while rejecting "bullying and intimidation." The nuclear standoff intensified ahead of Monday's IAEA Board of Governors meeting, with Iran submitting explanatory reports claiming Israeli sabotage caused contamination.

Iran condemned Trump's travel ban as "racist," continuing diplomatic friction following his warnings about uranium enrichment. Two missing female taekwondo athletes were found after disappearing in Tehran the day before Elaheh Hosseinnezhad's funeral, adding to ongoing discussions about women's safety following her murder.
Parliament Speaker Qalibaf delivered Iran's first detailed critique of America's nuclear proposal, describing it as lacking any mention of sanctions removal and accusing Washington of "division of labor with Netanyahu." This marked the substantive response promised by Araqchi days earlier, effectively rejecting the American offer while demanding Trump change his approach.

By morning, Intelligence Minister Khatib claimed Iran had obtained "strategic documents" about Israel's nuclear facilities, promising to release this alleged intelligence treasure soon. The announcement built on previous days' claims of major intelligence operations against Israel.

Iranian nuclear officials defended their program at the IAEA Board of Governors meeting, with Kamalvandi calling international pressure "political" while confirming 120 inspectors remain active in Iran. The government also ordered new surveillance equipment for environmental protection following a second park ranger's death within 40 days.

Coverage included Trump's deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles following immigration enforcement clashes.
Iranian media reported the country's Supreme National Security Council announced it possessed a "bank of Zionist targets" prepared for potential military response, claiming intelligence operations had revealed Israeli nuclear facility locations. This escalation followed IAEA Director General Grossi's morning statements that the agency could not guarantee Iran's nuclear program remained peaceful and that Iran had obtained "highly confidential" IAEA documents.

The diplomatic track remained active despite tensions. Iranian officials confirmed they would respond to America's nuclear proposal within two days, with the next round of indirect negotiations scheduled for Sunday in Muscat. President Pezeshkian attempted to balance domestic pressures by stating both forced hijab and public norm-breaking behavior were unacceptable.

A domestic scandal emerged when prominent Friday prayer leader Kazem Sadeghi's son and daughter-in-law were arrested, prompting questions about his continued leadership role. By evening, Iranian media reported Trump expressed hope for reaching agreement with Iran while calling Iranians "tough negotiators."
Iran's Intelligence Ministry issued detailed statements about its alleged operation against Israeli facilities, claiming the obtained documents would be shared with armed forces and anti-Zionist organizations. This marked the first substantive follow-up to previous days' intelligence claims.

Trump acknowledged Iran's role in Israel-Hamas negotiations while simultaneously characterizing Tehran as becoming "more aggressive" in nuclear talks, demanding "things that cannot be done." He confirmed nuclear negotiations would resume Thursday, contradicting earlier scheduling confusion.

Iranian officials warned of "proportional response" to any adverse IAEA Board of Governors decision, as European powers and the US pushed for action. President Pezeshkian dismissed enemies' efforts to halt Iran's progress as "naive fantasy" during a healthcare exhibition visit.

Iran's leadership responded with coordinated messaging of retaliation. Khamenei warned of "severe punishment" while new military appointments were announced within hours. By afternoon, the Supreme Leader delivered a televised address promising armed forces would "make the vile Zionist regime miserable."

The escalation culminated in evening missile strikes as Iran launched "True Promise III" operation, firing 200 ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv and Haifa. State media claimed successful hits and destruction of Israeli F-35 jets. The events transformed the nuclear standoff from diplomatic pressure into direct military confrontation.
Iranian state media reported launching six waves of missile strikes against Israel following yesterday's Israeli military operation that killed senior Revolutionary Guard commanders. State outlets claimed downing multiple Israeli F-35 fighter jets and hitting strategic targets including airbases. Iran cancelled nuclear negotiations with the US scheduled for Sunday in Muscat, with Foreign Minister Araqchi declaring talks "unjustifiable" amid Israeli attacks.

Netanyahu escalated rhetoric by threatening Israeli aircraft would appear "over Tehran's skies," while President Pezeshkian warned of "harsher responses" to continued aggression. Iranian media reported strikes on the South Pars gas field disrupted production. Supreme Leader Khamenei approved prisoner pardons as Tehran authorities ordered government employees to work from home through June 18th.

The escalation marked a complete breakdown of diplomatic efforts that began with the IAEA resolution three days earlier, transforming nuclear negotiations into direct military confrontation as both sides prepared for sustained conflict.
Iranian state media opened the day claiming over 200 Israeli casualties from missile strikes on Tel Aviv and Ashdod, marking what outlets described as the third day of full-scale war.

The Day Iran Struck American Soil

Iran escalated beyond Israeli targets by launching missiles at the Al Udeid base in Qatar, America's largest military facility in the region. This followed Israel's morning strikes on Tehran that targeted the regime's security apparatus - hitting Evin Prison, Basij headquarters, and intelligence facilities rather than infrastructure.

Trump called for regime change early morning, questioning why it shouldn't occur if Iran's government cannot restore the country's greatness. Iran executed a second Israeli spy and announced parliament would suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The missile exchange intensified throughout the day, with Iran launching its twenty-first wave using multi-warhead Kheibar missiles against Israeli military positions. By evening, Iran struck the Qatar base in what it called "Operation Herald of Victory," matching the number of missiles to bombs America used against Iranian nuclear sites.

The Day Trump Spared Khamenei

Trump revealed he had prevented the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader, stating he didn't allow Khamenei to "die in an ugly and humiliating way." This disclosure came as Trump dismissed Khamenei's victory claims as lies while simultaneously announcing Iran wanted to return to nuclear negotiations.

Iranian authorities intensified their domestic crackdown, with judicial officials promising careful investigation of alleged Israeli collaborators and "mercenaries." Police warned citizens against discussing their whereabouts in communications, claiming Israel had access to foreign messaging platforms. WhatsApp access remained severely disrupted following unilateral action by Iran's cyber council head.

Foreign Minister Araghchi rejected international nuclear inspections as "meaningless," criticizing IAEA chief Grossi's request to inspect damaged atomic facilities. The dispute over nuclear damage continued, with US senators claiming Iran's program was destroyed while Iranian officials acknowledged "serious damage" but maintained enrichment capabilities.
The day was dominated by Tehran's massive state funeral for over 60 casualties from the recent Israeli strikes, which served as a platform for official pronouncements. Millions attended ceremonies from Revolution Square to Azadi Square, mourning "resistance martyrs," including doctors, media personnel, and athletes. President Pezeshkian and General Qaani were present, though Supreme Leader Khamenei was notably absent due to security concerns. Foreign Minister Araghchi reiterated Iran's defiance, declaring the nation "unfamiliar with the word surrender" and warning the US president to abandon disrespectful tones. The Interior Minister affirmed Iran remains "alert with finger on the trigger." Concurrently, officials called for suspending cooperation with the IAEA, even accusing its Director-General of spying. Concerns persisted over political prisoners at Evin, with new reports alleging the prison head fled minutes before a strike. Amidst this, Iran reopened its central and western airspace.
Iranian media began the day with officials vowing steadfast resistance and highlighting reports of US missile defense failures. IAEA Director General Grossi's confirmation that Iran's nuclear facilities were not fully destroyed and re-enrichment capabilities remained was noted, alongside continued US condemnation of threats against him. As the day progressed, a dominant theme emerged: top military officials expressed profound skepticism regarding Israel's commitment to a ceasefire, warning of firm responses to renewed aggression. Concurrently, religious leaders issued significant fatwas, drawing a "red line" against any threats to the Supreme Leader. Amidst these declarations, former officials made new claims of Israeli threats against Iranian leadership. Legislators also approved stricter anti-espionage laws and a Starlink ban, signaling internal security focus. Debates continued around the IAEA, with Iran's UN representative condemning calls for Grossi's execution while some outlets maintained accusations against him.
Iranian media maintained a strong focus on the nuclear program and the aftermath of recent conflicts. Early reports detailed new plasma technology for enrichment, with officials condemning hardline calls against IAEA Director-General Grossi while affirming a refusal to halt enrichment. The parliament's law to suspend IAEA cooperation was declared binding, deepening the nuclear standoff.

Mid-day coverage brought President Pezeshkian's forceful criticism of the IAEA's "double standards," asserting they undermined regional security. This was followed by satellite imagery reportedly showing heavy machinery activity at the Fordow nuclear facility. Amidst these nuclear developments, a new narrative emerged: the alleged assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists, dubbed "Operation Narnia."

Later, media highlighted Iran's formal request for the UN to condemn the US and Israel as aggressors, citing high casualty figures from recent attacks. Military officials claimed enhanced readiness and successful missile strikes on enemy bases. The White House confirmed ongoing US-Tehran contacts, contrasting with Trump's denials, while local reports noted defensive tests in Tehran.
