Where it breaks apart

• — Shared Mediation or Sole Omani Channel — Pakistani and Qatari perspectives highlight shared mediation — with Tehran and Ankara citing Pakistan and Qatar alongside Oman — whereas French, British, American, and Israeli perspectives focus on Oman as the sole historical diplomatic channel since the 2015 nuclear agreement.
• — Reliability of US Guarantee — Australian, Canadian, British, French, and Israeli media question the value of ally status after a threat to a Washington regional partner, while US media documents the threat as a acknowledged means of pressure, without challenging the doctrine itself.
• — Economic Cost of the Crisis — Nigerian and Singaporean media directly link the threat to quantifiable impacts — a rise in Brent prices, a collapse in traffic through the strait — whereas Mexican and Pakistani perspectives treat the episode as a strictly diplomatic issue, without assessing its economic cost.
