The Spin

Narrative A

Tehran officials may try to deflect blame and say the attack was perpetrated by a rogue man with “personal issues,” but there is no denying that Iran is ultimately responsible for the brutal attack on the Azeri Embassy. Iran has been pushing its anti-Azerbaijan campaign and its constant propaganda has, on some level, led to the death of an Azeri embassy guard.

Narrative B

Iran is deeply saddened by the attack on Azerbaijan’s embassy and is making its investigation of the incident a high priority. The initial investigation suggests that personal motives caused the attack. Iranian law enforcement will act decisively to address the issue and serve justice.
