The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Iran's continued uranium enrichment at 60% purity poses an unacceptable proliferation risk and potential pathway to nuclear weapons development. The pattern of restricting international inspectors' access and threatening to move nuclear materials to undisclosed locations demonstrates the need for a zero-enrichment policy to ensure regional security and prevent nuclear proliferation.

New York TimesFDDUS News & World Report

Pro-Iran narrative

The Iranian nuclear program represents an essential sovereign right and technological achievement that cannot be compromised. Decades of scientific progress and national sacrifice have established Iran's legitimate position in nuclear technology. Any military action against these facilities would constitute a violation of international law and sovereignty, requiring a decisive response to protect national interests.
