⌨Editorial focus has intensified on President Trump's 'Twenty-Five Percent' tariff ultimatum against nations trading with Tehran, signaling a shift toward total economic isolation (BBC Persian, VOA Persian). Concurrently, diaspora and international outlets report on the lethal scale of the crackdown, citing 12,000 deaths (Iran International) and potential military strikes (Kayhan London). State-aligned media counter this by framing the unrest as foreign intervention and promoting pro-government rallies (Al-Alam, Tasnim).
