Pakistan's central role as a mediator
Coverage aligned with this reading · with one other country

BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Pakistan-centered framing: strong emphasis on Islamabad's diplomatic role and the eponymous memorandum, at the expense of other regional actors who participated in the mediation

Preference for official sources: articles rely primarily on government statements (PMO, Foreign Office, Iranian state agencies), without critical voices or opposition

Limited coverage of internal divisions within the Iranian government: potential tensions between factions regarding the succession of Mojtaba Khamenei remain largely underdeveloped
