Iran25 titles+1Constructive“supportive and defensive”
Patterns
- Amplifies Iranian officials' statements as authoritative
- Frames US-Israeli actions as aggression, Iran as victim
- Highlights Iranian military successes and resilience
- Uses positive or neutral verbs for Iranian actions, negative for adversaries
Caveats
The outlet consistently treats Iranian officials and military as credible sources, quoting them without distancing language. The entity's quoted content is critical of US/Israel, but the outlet's own framing is favorable to Iran, presenting it as a victim of aggression and a resilient actor. No headlines criticize Iran or its actions.

Patterns

- Uses evaluative negative vocabulary ('reckless', 'delusional', 'murderous', 'evil')
- Frames US actions as failures, crimes, or humiliations
- Selects headlines highlighting US weakness, division, and illegitimacy
Caveats
The outlet's stance is toward the US as an entity, not toward the quoted speakers. The US is consistently framed as aggressive, failing, and morally bankrupt; no positive or neutral coverage of US actions or officials appears.

- Frames Trump as delusional, reckless, evil, murderous, and mentally unbalanced
- Presents Trump's actions as failures, mistakes, and war crimes
- Amplifies calls for Trump's removal or punishment
Caveats
All headlines are from Press TV, an Iranian state-affiliated outlet, which consistently frames Trump negatively. The entity's own statements are not quoted directly; instead, the outlet selects and amplifies hostile voices against Trump.
