Iranian press review: Cheers erupt as US warships come under fire

Ultra-conservatives in Iran celebrated the attack on US warships by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, viewing it as a victory in the ongoing conflict with the United States. The Hamshahri and Qods daily newspapers both praised the attacks, with Qods stating that the phase of escalating military tension demonstrates that the US military warships enforcing the blockade are no longer seen as elements outside the battlefield.

However, survivors of a US missile strike on a wedding in Iran have criticized the lack of medical facilities in southern Iran, with some residents traveling long distances to reach hospitals due to the limited resources available at the local clinic. Meanwhile, former President Hassan Rouhani's proposal for a public referendum on Iran's strategy towards the US has sparked political backlash from conservatives.
