The Spin

Pro-Iran narrative

The expansion of nuclear capabilities is a legitimate response to Western failures in upholding commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal and continued sanctions pressure. The program remains peaceful, and Iran maintains its right to develop nuclear technology for civilian purposes.

Tehran TimesMehr News Agency

Anti-Iran narrative

Iran's nuclear expansion and hints at doctrine changes represent dangerous escalations that could lead to weapons development. The installation of advanced centrifuges and increased enrichment capabilities — combined with a lack of cooperation with IAEA inspectors — raises serious proliferation concerns.
