Indian Express · March 2026

• factual reporting of government actions
• balanced coverage of political events
• no consistent evaluative language toward India as a country

The entity is a country, not a person; most headlines are about domestic events, politics, sports, and entertainment without an explicit stance toward India as a whole. The coverage is diverse and largely neutral, with no clear positive or negative framing of the country itself.

• Factual reporting of events and statements without evaluative adjectives
• Use of direct quotes from Iranian officials without distancing verbs
• Focus on geopolitical implications for India rather than moral judgment of Iran
• Occasional inclusion of Iranian perspectives alongside other actors

Coverage is primarily factual and India-centric, treating Iran as a geopolitical actor rather than a friend or foe. Headlines 13 and 18 report negative impacts and casualties attributed to Iran, but without hostile framing toward the country itself. The outlet does not adopt a consistently positive or negative stance; it reports Iranian statements neutrally (e.g., headline 10, 24) and also reports US/Israeli actions without endorsing them. Stance is neutral overall, though the bundle's focus on conflict and casualties could be seen as implicitly critical if read selectively.

• Quotes Trump's aggressive claims without endorsement
• Highlights contradictions and challenges to Trump's statements
• Frames Trump's actions as desperate or self-serving
• Includes critical expert analysis and negative context

The outlet often quotes Trump directly, which could be seen as giving him a platform, but the surrounding framing and selection of headlines consistently undercut his credibility by juxtaposing his claims with contradictory evidence, expert criticism, or negative consequences. The stance is skeptical rather than hostile, as some headlines are neutral factual reports.

• highlights Trump's contradictions and U-turns
• uses distancing verbs like 'claims' and 'vows'
• includes critical voices and counter-narratives
• frames Trump as aggressive or boxed-in

Some headlines report Trump's actions neutrally (e.g., #2, #1), but the bundle includes multiple pieces that question his credibility, expose challenges to his narrative, and quote resignations over his policies, indicating a skeptical editorial stance.

• factual reporting of events and reactions
• analytical framing of succession and geopolitical implications
• occasional use of 'killed' and 'death' without evaluative adjectives
• quoting various actors (Khamenei, Putin, protesters) without endorsement

Coverage is primarily news-oriented and analytical, not evaluative toward Khamenei. Headlines report his death, succession, and reactions neutrally. No consistent positive or negative framing of the entity; the outlet does not adopt a stance toward Khamenei himself. The entity is treated as a subject of news, not as a figure to be praised or condemned.
