Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said ordinary citizens barely felt the West Asia conflict despite attacks on key infrastructure, including power facilities. In a televised address, he credited coordination between government agencies, provincial administrations and ministers for keeping daily life normal. He also said improved ties with neighbouring countries helped prevent unrest along Iran’s borders. NDTV reports that Pezeshkian accused foreign adversaries of trying to make Iran resemble Syria, but said national unity prevented this. Mathrubhumi reports he alleged that adversaries sought unrest in north-western and south-eastern regions, while neighbouring countries helped block it. Neither account provides independent evidence for these claims. Iran’s Foreign Ministry also said an agreement with Oman on the Strait of Hormuz was in its final drafting stage.
