ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
GERMANYSTATEDOMINANT ANGLE
Berlin views the Hormuz crisis as an economic showdown with global consequences, where neither Washington nor Tehran seems willing to back down, risking a wider conflict.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Iran loses around $435 million per day, totaling an estimated $17 billion in losses over 39 days of US naval blockade (source: FDD/Miad Maleki)
- •Iran charges up to $2 million for passage through the Hormuz strait, violating international maritime law
- •Pakistani mediation led by Chief of Staff Asim Munir in Tehran relies on a one-page memorandum co-sponsored by the US and the UN to reopen the strait
BIASES
Dominant economic framing: the analysis prioritizes financial losses and interest calculations over humanitarian or military dimensions of the conflictPreference for Washington think tank sources: GIF and FDD orient the analytical framework without direct Iranian counterpointLimited coverage of European positions: the EU's role in sanctions related to the Hormuz blockade is absent from DW's analysis
GREECEDOMINANT ANGLE
Athens closely follows US-Iran negotiations, seeing Pakistani mediation as a concrete opportunity to stabilize a region crucial to Eastern Mediterranean navigation.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •The nine-point draft agreement provides for an immediate ceasefire and guarantees freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, closed since February 28, 2026
- •Marco Rubio mentioned "good signs" while setting the condition for Iran to abandon its toll system in the Strait
- •The disclosed text contains no reference to Iran's enriched uranium, according to Protothema, leaving this key point for future negotiations
