BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Security framing: the Romanian narrative focuses coverage on military threats and responses rather than the immediate economic impact of the strait.

« „Americanii ar fi trebuit să înțeleagă că era ripostelor proporționale a apus”, a afirmat Ghalibaf într-un mesaj difuzat de televiziunea de stat. »

Reliance on international dispatches: Romanian coverage relies on Western agencies (AFP, AP, Times of Israel) rather than primary Iranian or American sources.

« una dintre cele mai importante rute maritime pentru transportul mondial de petrol, relatează Times of Israel. »

Unverified figures: the only figure on Iranian oil exports comes from Tehran itself, without independent confirmation.

« Afirmația provine de la oficialul iranian și nu este prezentată de AP ca o cifră verificată independent. »
