BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Tehran's bilateral framing is repetitive: Mehr News reports reproduce almost verbatim the same contextual paragraph at each meeting, focusing on the bilateral program rather than the multilateral content of the summit.

« His two-day visit will be focused on the summit of heads of state from the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and Shanghai Plus, where he will speak and hold bilateral talks with a number of participating leaders and the presidents of Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan on the sidelines of the summit. »

Silence on US strikes: no article in the corpus mentions the resumption of US strikes against Iran that occurred on the eve of the summit, the subject being mentioned only through a general diplomatic formula on the "path of war".

« instead of utilizing diplomatic mechanisms, the US officials have taken the path of war, insecurity, and imposing their will through force. »
