Iran's military framing dominates: the civilian toll of the Sirik marriage is mentioned in a brief phrase, lost in the count of targets struck and claimed responses.

« There were reportrs that in the US airstrikes in Hormozgan, four people, inlcuding a toddler, were martyred while attending a wedding in the southern province on Tuesday night. »

« The statement said a large number of American troops were killed and several key installations and attack helicopters were destroyed. »
