ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
IRANDOMINANT ANGLE

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

- •Iran officially conditions Strait of Hormuz reopening on a halt to Israeli strikes in Lebanon, citing a violation of Article 1 of the memorandum by Israel.
- •David Schenker, former U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for Near East affairs, stated the agreement represents "a considerable victory for Iran" with economic benefits granted upfront.
BIASES
Victimhood framing: Iranian media consistently present Iran as the party honoring its obligations against Israeli violations, providing no space for Israeli or American counterarguments.National resilience narrative emphasis: Asr Iran valorizes Iranian resistance through a prism of national pride, downplaying infrastructure damage sustained during the conflict.Underreporting of global economic effects: Iranian press gives marginal coverage to the impact of Hormuz closure on oil markets and international shipping.
TURKEYDOMINANT ANGLE

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