ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
INDIADOMINANT ANGLE

KEY POINTS
- •Times of India quotes Hegseth verbatim on 'decisive days'—framing of spectator fascinated by American power
- •NDTV reveals strikes on anti-cancer medicine factory that Times of India completely ignores
- •Strategic blind spot: India is second-largest Iranian oil importer but no media mentions this
BIASES
Façade of non-alignment: India maintains relations with all belligerents but does not discuss this publiclyMedia divide: Times of India pro-establishment vs. NDTV more criticalFascination with American military power masks analysis of consequences for India itself
IRANDOMINANT ANGLE
Iran International frames the diplomatic impasse as a deliberate Iranian choice, not American failure
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
Iran International financed by Saudi Arabia then the UK—structural anti-regime positioningFocus on rhetoric over analysis of actual military balance of forcesInvisibility of discrete diplomatic channels (Oman, Switzerland) in favor of political spectacle
