The Guardian is pushing a narrative that highlights the internal conflicts within Iran and the challenges faced by its president, Masoud Pezeshkian.
Bias
The Guardian emphasises Pezeshkian's denial of resignation claims and his accusations against hardline factions, while downplaying the progress made in US-Iran talks. The outlet also omits details about the potential deal's impact on global oil trade, instead focusing on the internal Iranian politics. This framing strays from neutral by prioritising the Iranian president's struggles over the broader geopolitical context.
