The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Amini's death, and the circumstances that resulted in the tragedy, have exposed how the Iranian regime treats its own citizens and pushed the country's youth to its absolute limits. Raisi has already fostered a volatile environment by failing to tackle the economic crisis and youth unemployment, and repression against women through the criminalization of notionally immodest dressing has only amplified discontent. Iranians cannot blindly comply with these orders any longer.

France 24

Establishment-critical narrative

Iran's riots have nothing to do with the death of Amini but everything to do with enemies of Iran exploiting the tragic event for the purpose of creating chaos in the country - this was simply the right excuse at the right time. However, Iranians can count on its government to remain firm in its opposition to Western hegemony and Israel's Zionist regime.
