GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Les divergences narratives reflètent les fractures géopolitiques contemporaines : l'axe occidental (US-UK-AU) valorise l'intervention préventive et l'alliance israélienne, tandis que l'axe eurasiatique (CN-RU-IR) promeut le multilatéralisme anti-hégémonique. Les puissances moyennes européennes (DE-FR-IT) tentent un équilibrage entre loyauté atlantique et pragmatisme économique. Les pays du Sud global (ET-MA-NG) adoptent une posture défensive, priorisant les impacts domestiques sur les considérations géostratégiques. Ces divergences sont amplifiées par les structures médiatiques nationales : médias d'État en Chine et Russie, pluralisme contraint en Iran, diversité démocratique en Occident mais avec des biais pro-gouvernementaux lors des crises sécuritaires.
