Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, ordered the commanders of the armed forces to update the target bank to include all assets of the "American-Zionist enemy," according to Israel Hayom. He said any attack will be met with an immediate response without geographic limitation, and that Iran will determine when the fighting ends.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Al Jazeera that Tehran is examining the letter from Vice President JD Vance. According to Israel Hayom, Araghchi said the American attempt to open a dialogue is a positive step, but at this stage there are no plans for a direct meeting.

According to Behadrei Haredim, Araghchi demands Washington lift the sanctions, unfreeze funds and end the war on all fronts before negotiations resume. According to Arutz Sheva, the chairman of the National Security Committee of the Iranian parliament, Ebrahim Azizi, declared that Iran will respond to any threat immediately and without limits.
