Iran commemorated the 47th anniversary of its Islamic Revolution amid internal and external pressures. While state media showcased pro-government rallies with anti-American sentiments, reports emerged of citizens protesting the government's crackdown on dissent. President Masoud Pezeshkian stated Iran's willingness to negotiate its nuclear program at the anniversary ceremony in Tehran. He also claimed that Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons, and is ready for any kind of verification. However, the UN's nuclear watchdog has been unable to inspect and verify Iran's nuclear stockpile. Simultaneously, a top Iranian security official visited Qatar after a stop in Oman, countries that have been mediating nuclear negotiations, as the US President Trump suggested sending another aircraft carrier group to the Middle East.
