BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Pakistan's focus on Trump: the two Pakistani articles devote most of their narrative to the presidential joke about renaming the strait rather than the attack on the Saudi oil tanker.

« Now that we have it under U.S.A. control, should we change the name Hormuz Strait to TRUMP STRAIT??? Like America itself, it would be ‘hotter’ than ever before! »

Measured war from Pakistan's perspective: the coverage evaluates the Gulf War in terms of its duration and effects on Pakistan's relations with other nations, without detailing the regional maritime losses of the day.

« The Iran war remains a deadly serious issue, with no sign of ending more than six months after the initial US-Israeli assault. »

Reliance on international sources: Trump's quotes are sourced through a journalist from the AFP present in the Oval Office, rather than an independent Pakistani source.

« It was just thrown out there," Trump said with a chuckle after an AFP reporter asked him in the Oval Office if he was serious about renaming it. »
