- US and Israeli militaries hit military and government sites, prompting security checks, amid streets filled with mourning after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's assassination.
- Cooking oil prices surged from 400,000 tomans, while local banks stopped distributing cash and many bank cards were blocked, forcing Reza to offer free coffee; internet outages worsened children's isolation and wellbeing.
- Supporters of the government began driving in small car processions waving flags amid security checks on Kish island that included mobile-phone searches, deterring outings.
