BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Economic-centric framing: the BBC prioritizes oil price movements and market reactions over details of diplomatic negotiations.

Preference for U.S. official sources: citations derive chiefly from Ambassador Mike Waltz and U.S. officials, with minimal direct Iranian voices included.

Limited coverage of Houthi-Saudi dynamics: the Jizan attack is mentioned as context without deeper analysis of broader regional repercussions.
