Brazil
Brasília first takes note of the legal qualification in the UN report: the United Nations claims to have "reasonable grounds" to believe that the US strikes on Minab and Lamerd constitute war crimes, a conclusion that the Brazilian press details strike by strike before reporting the crossed denials of Washington and Tehran.
What each one tells
opposition
Iran
Tehran takes away from the UN report confirmation of American war crimes in Minab and Lamerd, more so than the finding regarding its own repression.
Brazil
Institutional
the narrative begins with the official UN mission formula rather than the identification of victims.
Omission of the Iranian reaction
the narrative details the American response over several sentences but summarizes Tehran's silence in one line.
What the account puts first
Iran
focused on US strikes
the Mehr News agency article only deals with the part of the report targeting the United States, without mentioning the conclusion on domestic repression formulated in the same document.
focused on domestic repression
the Iran International article details the crimes against humanity attributed to the Iranian authorities without mentioning the finding of the same report on the US strikes in February.
Brazil
Reliance on the statement
the media outlets report the mission's conclusions without having access to the detailed evidence, which is absent from the released text.
What it leans on
Brazil only
Iran
this perspective does not carry this information
