ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
IRANDOMINANT ANGLE

Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Ghalibaf plays dual game: domestic firmness and international openness, framed as hypocrisy by Iran International
- •Same fact, two readings: for Al Jazeera Washington offers nothing serious; for Iran International Tehran refuses negotiation
- •The Omani channel, historically decisive in every Iran-US crisis since 2013, is absent from media narrative
BIASES

ISRAELDOMINANT ANGLE
Israel and Gulf states want war continuation, not mediation
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •MBZ and MBS called Trump demanding 'significant constraints' on Iran before any combat halt
- •The IDF announces destruction of all critical targets by Wednesday—military calendar dictates the tempo, not diplomacy
- •Jerusalem Post complete silence on strikes against anti-cancer medicine factory—editorial omission, not oversight
BIASES
Israeli security consensus: diplomacy is a parenthesis between military phasesGulf states presented as natural Israeli allies against Iran, without nuance on their divergencesComplete absence of the humanitarian dimension in framing
