Iran25 titles+2Promotional“celebratory and defiant”
Patterns
- frames Iran as victorious and dominant
- uses heroic and assertive language for Iranian actions
- portrays US/Israel as defeated, desperate, or humiliated
- amplifies Iranian officials' statements without distancing
Caveats
The outlet consistently treats Iran as a powerful, righteous actor; even when reporting Iranian threats or attacks, the framing is positive toward Iran. Headlines 24-25 show Iran's war causing hardship to UK, reinforcing Iran's strength.
United States25 titles-2Adversarial“consistently hostile and delegitimizing”
Patterns
- frames US actions as aggressive and irrational
- highlights internal US political turmoil and opposition to Trump
- uses negative evaluative language about US leadership
- amplifies foreign and domestic critics of US policy
Caveats
The entity is 'US' but coverage overwhelmingly focuses on Trump administration as the actor; the outlet treats the US as a source of threat and dysfunction, not as a neutral or legitimate actor. The stance is consistently negative toward the US government and its leadership.

TRUMP25 titles-2Adversarial“consistently hostile and delegitimizing”
Patterns
- portrays Trump as mentally unstable or psychologically disordered
- frames Trump's actions as failures, disasters, or humiliating defeats
- highlights domestic opposition and calls for Trump's removal
- uses evaluative language ('humiliating', 'disaster', 'serious psychological disorders')
Caveats
The outlet is Iranian state-aligned (Fars News), so the uniformly negative stance toward Trump is expected; the entity's own quoted content is not present, but the outlet's framing is entirely hostile.
