As the US-Israeli conflict against Iran enters its 25th day, Trump's claims of ongoing negotiations are categorically denied by Tehran, which calls them 'fake news.' Strikes intensify on multiple fronts — Iranian missiles on Tel Aviv and southern Israel, drones on Saudi Arabia, Israeli-US bombings on Tehran — while Pakistan offers to host talks and the Strait of Hormuz crisis paralyzes the global economy.

- •Special envoy sent to contain the conflict, not to defend Tehran
- •Opportunistic transformation of crisis into advantage for Chinese EV industry
- •Absolute priority on US-China relations stability and Xi-Trump summit
- •Anti-hegemonic rhetoric ('law of the jungle') without corresponding action
BIASES
Systematic absence of criticism of Iranian regime and its destabilizing actionsOpportunistic reading transforming geopolitical crises into national economic advantagesMultipolar rhetoric serving as cover for strategic non-interventionism
UNITED STATESDOMINANT ANGLE

Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
