Propaganda

B

Minor framing via loaded phrasing like 'U.S.-Israeli war on Iran' and passive voice on disruptions, plus contextual omissions, but factual Reuters wire on oil prices remains informative.

Main Device

Agent-Erasing Passives

Uses passive constructions like 'disruptions linked to the near-closure of the strait' to obscure Iran's agency in blockading Hormuz after U.S./Israeli strikes.

Archetype

Trump-aligned Iran hawk

Newsmax's pro-Trump, hawkish history frames the conflict to emphasize Iranian supply threats over U.S. initiation, aligning with MAGA foreign policy aggression.

Passively frames Iranian strait actions as primary supply threat while omitting U.S. strikes that prompted retaliation, nudging toward hawkish blame on Iran.
