According to various sources, members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard deployed ballistic missiles during public events in Tehran, demonstrating military power.

Images broadcasted by state television showed armed men with Kalashnikov rifles alongside a missile similar to the Qadr model, mounted on a mobile launcher in the Iranian capital. During the gatherings, attendees chanted slogans against the United States and Israel, reflecting the confrontational atmosphere.

The Qadr missiles have the capability to release submunitions, known as cluster munitions, a type of weaponry that Iran has previously used in regional conflicts. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump announced the extension of the ceasefire at the request of Pakistan, awaiting a joint proposal from Tehran.

The White House canceled Vice President JD Vance's trip to Pakistan, intended to continue negotiations, due to Iran's refusal to continue dialogue. Trump warned that the naval blockade on Iran will persist. Since the conflict began, the war has claimed thousands of victims in the region.
