Framing Bias

Dominant framing presents US as military aggressor (Military Operation: 154 titles) and Iran as issuing diplomatic warnings, with headlines emphasizing Iranian warnings of 'regional war' and US military preparations (e.g., 'Khamenei warns US of ‘regional war’', 'US strengthening air, missile defenses... before striking Iran').

Key Findings

• -Military action framing (Military Operation: 154) slightly outweighs diplomatic framing (Diplomatic Pressure: 127)
• -US actors dominate coverage (Us Executive: 124, Us Armed Forces: 95) versus Ir Executive: 97
• -English-language dominance (310 of 376 titles) suggests Western/anglophone media lens
• -Publisher concentration is low (Hhi: 0.0276) with diverse top outlets including Israeli, Turkish, Qatari, and French sources

Blind Spots

• ?Persian Gulf Arab states (only SA: 2, OM: 17)
• ?European diplomatic actors
• ?Russian/Chinese diplomatic positions

Missing Perspectives

• ?What are the specific nuclear negotiation positions at the diplomatic talks?
• ?How are regional allies (beyond Israel) assessing the carrier deployment?
• ?What are the economic or domestic political constraints on both sides?

Follow the Gain

Iran benefits from framing that positions it as sovereign victim responding to US coercion, while US executive and military actors gain visibility as primary agents of action.
