• reports Iran's actions and statements without evaluative adjectives
• includes both Iranian claims and external warnings/criticisms
• uses neutral verbs like 'says', 'confirms', 'warns' for Iran
• covers Iran's losses and leadership changes factually

Coverage is largely factual and balanced, reporting Iran's statements alongside Turkish and Israeli actions. No consistent positive or negative framing of Iran as an entity; the outlet treats Iran as a subject of news rather than taking a stance. Headlines 5 and 24 include Turkish warnings to Iran, but these are reported as diplomatic actions, not editorial hostility.

• Quotes Erdoğan as primary voice on foreign policy
• Foregrounds Turkish diplomatic achievements and resilience
• Uses respectful framing for Turkish officials and institutions
• Minimizes negative domestic events with neutral or distancing language

The outlet consistently treats TR (Türkiye) as a credible, sovereign actor; Erdoğan's statements are amplified without distancing verbs, and positive developments (e.g., Halkbank stock rise, SAS flights) are highlighted. Domestic controversies (e.g., mayor jailed) are reported factually without evaluative hostility. The entity's quoted criticism of others (e.g., Israel, US) does not reflect negatively on the outlet's stance toward TR.

• foregrounds civilian casualties and destruction caused by US actions
• uses distancing verbs like 'claims' and 'muses' for US officials
• frames US policy as aggressive and self-interested
• highlights domestic opposition to US leadership

The outlet's stance toward the US is consistently skeptical and critical, emphasizing negative consequences of US actions and questioning US motives, but does not reach the level of outright hostility (-2) as some headlines are factual reports of US statements.

• uses distancing verbs like 'claims', 'threatens', 'muses'
• highlights contradictions and mixed messages
• frames Trump's actions as reckless or self-serving
• includes expert criticism and allied pushback

The outlet does not use overtly hostile labels like 'regime' or 'dictator', but consistently frames Trump as unreliable, aggressive, and diplomatically isolated. Headline 21 and 23 suggest Trump's war is driven by political survival, which is critical. However, some headlines (e.g., 10, 15) are neutral factual reports, and the entity is quoted directly, which slightly tempers the negativity.

• Erdoğan quoted as a proactive diplomatic actor
• Headlines use direct, respectful attribution without distancing verbs
• Erdoğan's warnings and calls for peace are foregrounded as statesmanlike
• Positive framing of Erdoğan's role in regional mediation and national commemoration

Erdoğan's quoted content is critical of other actors (Israel, US-led attacks), but the outlet treats him as a credible, authoritative voice, amplifying his positions without skepticism.

• frames Israel as aggressor with civilian casualties
• uses 'Israel's war' and 'US-Israel' as joint perpetrator
• highlights Israeli military setbacks and internal dissent
• quotes critics and opponents of Israel without counterbalance

The outlet's own editorial voice is uniformly negative toward Israel; headlines 3, 6, 7, 10 explicitly blame Netanyahu and the war on Israel. Even when quoting Israeli sources (headline 11), the selection emphasizes collapse and criticism. No headline presents Israel's perspective neutrally or positively.
