Patterns
- Direct quotation of Araghchi's statements without distancing verbs
- Headlines present Araghchi as a credible spokesperson for Iran's foreign policy
- Positive framing of his diplomatic activities and achievements
- No critical or skeptical language about Araghchi himself
Caveats
Araghchi's quoted content is often confrontational toward the US and Israel, but the outlet treats him as an authoritative voice, not as a problem. The stance is positive toward Araghchi, not toward his adversaries.

- Positive framing of Pezeshkian's actions (congratulations, meetings, announcements)
- Absence of critical or skeptical language about Pezeshkian
Caveats
The outlet is state-aligned (IRNA), so favorable treatment is expected. Pezeshkian's quoted content is often critical of US/Israel, but the outlet itself treats him as a credible authority, not as an antagonist.
Iran25 titles+1Constructive“supportive and authoritative”
Patterns

- Frames Iran as a diplomatic and sovereign actor
- Highlights international recognition and cooperation
