BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Focus on the unverified Iranian claim: the press repeats the Revolutionary Guards' tally in full without independent Western confirmation at this stage.

« Les Gardiens ont également affirmé mercredi avoir attaqué deux bateaux américains, huit pétroliers et dix autres navires dans le Golfe, "en réponse à l'agression et aux actions hostiles de l'armée terroriste américaine, qui a attaqué cinq pétroliers iraniens". »

Nearly exclusive reliance on official Iranian agencies: the strikes on the tankers are documented by the Tasnim agency, with no direct quote from a US military source in these articles.

« l'agence Tasnom a rapporté que l'armée américaine avait mené une attaque de missile contre un pétrolier iranien près de l'île iranienne de Kharg, dans le Golfe »
