Narrative Split
How different information blocks interpret these facts
ME
Rights And Dignity
Middle Eastern outlets stress that Iran will not accept Western texts that dictate terms through “should and must” language and insists on recognition of its rights. They present Pezeshkian’s call for a “dignified framework” as a sign Tehran is open to talks, but only if sanctions and the blockade are addressed and Iran’s security concerns are respected. Regional reporting also amplifies warnings from Iranian politicians that pressure could lead to military confrontation if negotiations fail.
- •Ali Baghaei rejects Western draft language that tells Iran what it “should and must” do.
- •Iranian officials link any deal with the United States to lifting sanctions and the blockade.
- •President Masoud Pezeshkian calls for a “dignified framework” to end the war.
- •An Iranian MP warns the blockade will end either through talks or through military action.

WEST
Unfinished Iran Talks
Western outlets describe a US leadership meeting on Iran that ended without a breakthrough and stress that no formal peace deal or nuclear understanding has been announced. Trump’s public claim that Iran accepted a no–nuclear weapons pledge is treated as a political statement that has not yet been backed by a signed text or verified inspection terms. Coverage highlights that Washington is still weighing options on sanctions, the blockade, and security guarantees for Israel and regional partners.
- •A two-hour Situation Room meeting on Iran ended without a US–Iran agreement.
- •Donald Trump publicly asserts that Iran has agreed not to develop nuclear weapons.
RU
US Not Serious
Russian coverage highlights Iranian claims that Trump is not truly willing to negotiate and is instead using the talks for political gain. This view holds that Washington wants Iran to accept strict limits without offering firm relief on sanctions or security issues. Russian outlets suggest that, without a change in the US approach, the standoff over Iran’s nuclear work and the war with Israel will drag on.
- •Iranian officials accuse Donald Trump of lacking real willingness to negotiate with Tehran.
- •Tehran argues that Washington demands concessions without clear commitments on sanctions relief.

West

US Intentions◇Different Reading
West
US leaders are still searching for a workable Iran deal.Russia
Washington is using Iran talks mainly for political advantage.So what
It is hard to judge whether stalled talks reflect technical problems or lack of will.
Draft Text○Nobody Covers
No block publishes the actual draft wording that Iran rejected, beyond references to “should and must,” so readers cannot see which specific obligations or rights are in dispute.
Sanctions Relief○Nobody Covers
None of the coverage details what level of sanctions or blockade relief the United States has privately offered, making it impossible to weigh how far each side is compromising.
Next Announcement▸What to Watch
A formal White House or Iranian government announcement in the coming days, with written terms on nuclear limits and sanctions, would clarify whether Trump’s claim reflects an actual agreement.
What Could Happen If...
- ▸If Washington and Tehran agree on revised wording that drops the “should and must” phrasing while keeping a clear no–nuclear weapons pledge Both sides could announce a limited deal that eases parts of the blockade and reduces the risk of further Israel–Iran clashes.
Market Exposure
Different sides disagree on how this affects markets. The same instrument may move in opposite directions depending on which reading proves correct.
