- Attack on Kurdish region leader: Iran accused the US and Israel of attacking the residence of the president of the Iraqi Kurdish region and said it follows the pattern of “cowardly assassinations” of senior Iranian officials by the two countries.
- Press TV lists IRGC targets: The broadcaster reported that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps “used long-range and medium-range solid and liquid-fuelled systems and attack drones to target several industries belonging to the Israeli-American enemy” in Israel and other locations on Saturday.

- Iran’s power underestimated: Al Jazeera’s Mohamed Vall, reporting from Tehran, said one month into the war, Iran has proved that its power was underestimated by the enemy, who thought that the war would be a short excursion and that the country would capitulate after just a few days of bombardment and the decapitation of the head of the system.
- Nuclear exit treaty: Al Jazeera’s Maziar Motamedi, reporting from Tehran, said Iranian politicians are pushing for the country’s exit from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as the US and Israel ramp up their attacks on civilian nuclear sites, factories and universities.
