BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Iran's official narrative frames its actions as legitimate defense and grounds them in international law, rather than focusing on the military details of the strikes.

« Iran's armed forces, exercising their inherent right of self-defence under Article 51 of the Charter, had conducted "defensive and proportionate" attacks against U.S. military bases in Jordan »

The Iranian government prioritizes the domestic economic narrative, while independent exile media extensively documents the collapse of foreign trade and currency, in contrast to state agencies, which focus on the story of the strikes.

« Iran's average daily crude-oil and condensate sales to China during the first five months of the current Iranian year were slightly above 1 million barrels per day, about 40% below the same period last year. »
