The article employs loaded terms like 'Iranian regime' and 'grave consequences,' framing Iran as an illegitimate adversary and emphasizing U.S. toughness, which aligns with conservative viewpoints favoring strong anti-Iran policies. This is reinforced by insinuations crediting American diplomacy for halting executions and highlighting 'all options remain on the table' to portray presidential power.
