The Spin
Anti-Iran narrative
Iran has completely disregarded its agreements and is speeding ahead in its nuclear enrichment program — a troubling development in and of itself, but even more so amid Iran-backed proxies' attacks on US military bases and threats toward Israel. Iran is behind much of the destabilization occurring in the Middle East, and it is doing all it can to increase tensions with the US.
Pro-Iran narrative
Anti-Iran sentiment and propaganda are in full force as the West — which is the true destabilizer in the Middle East — tries to start a conflict with Tehran. It's clear that the IAEA is trying to cause a media frenzy to portray Iran as a nuclear threat as the US seeks to distract from Israel's atrocities in Gaza. Iran has no plans of making nuclear weapons; it's merely conducting routine activity within the IAEA's regulations.
