The Spin

Anti-Iran narrative

Chaab is the latest victim of the Islamic Republic's killing machine, which has claimed the lives of at least 194 people so far this year — including some 42 only over the past ten days — as the regime seeks to create societal fear in the nation. It's no coincidence that Tehran's secretive death row has been focusing on restless provinces and Western nationals.

The Telegraph

Pro-Iran narrative

It is disgraceful that some European nations have lambasted Tehran for upholding justice through the rightful execution of the Swedish-backed terrorist who masterminded the deadly 2018 Ahvaz attack. The West must understand that their insensitive attitude can only encourage deadly terrorism and deepen the suffering of the victims' families.
