Moscow: sovereign Iran vs. declining empire — RT amplifies resistance narrative
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
RT and TASS consistently build a meta-narrative: Iran is sovereign, America is in decline. An RT editorial titled 'Here's why Iran is sovereign and Germany is not' exemplifies the Russian posture — opposing Iran's resistance to Germany's capitulation to US pressure. TASS announces that Iran and Russia are discussing bilateral nuclear cooperation, a clear signal Moscow rejects any demand for Iranian nuclear dismantlement. RT uniquely accuses the Pentagon of underreporting the war's true cost — paradoxically echoing Al Jazeera's critique but for different ends.
