WHERE THIS COUNTRY STANDS

Anti-Western axis

Iran and Russia present Israeli strikes as a deliberate violation of the memorandum of understanding and hold Washington directly responsible for escalation. These perspectives amplify Hezbollah statements, emphasize Lebanese casualties, and highlight fractures between the United States and Israel to underscore the inconsistency of U.S. policy.

BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Pro-Resistance framing: Iranian media consistently relay Hezbollah declarations (Naim Qassem) as the legitimate voice of the Lebanese people, without presenting alternative Lebanese perspectives or voices.

Emphasis on the Iran-US legal framework: focus on the June 18 memorandum establishes American responsibility while downplaying Hezbollah actions that preceded the escalation.

Asymmetric casualty coverage: Israeli military losses of four soldiers are presented only as a stated pretext, without treatment equivalent to that given to Lebanese civilian casualties.
