Bias read (Center): The article reports on a formal political event involving high-ranking officials and the former Supreme Leader, presenting the facts neutrally without apparent ideological framing or biased language. It provides a straightforward account of the event without emphasizing any particular perspective.
Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 70): Factuality is high as the report aligns with the cross-source consensus and mentions state TV footage and official participation. Objectivity is lower due to the sensational title 'War on Iran' which introduces bias, though the content itself is neutral.
