NGIran's top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, referred to the United States as 'Satan' following a deadly attack on a wedding ceremony in southern Iran. At least four people were killed and dozens injured in the strike in Kuhestan. Ghalibaf condemned the attack, linking it to broader violence in the Middle East, including an earlier assault on a school in Minab. He accused the U.S. and its ally Israel of acting like 'Satan,' echoing a term popularized by Iran's founding leader, Ayatollah Khomeini. In response, Iran launched drone and missile strikes against U.S. military installations in multiple countries. The U.S. military did not comment directly on the incident but emphasized its commitment to avoiding civilian casualties.
Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the U.S. as 'Satan' using strong, emotionally charged language, aligning with Iran's historical rhetoric against Western powers. While the event itself is a geopolitical conflict, the framing emphasizes Iran's condemnation of U.S. actions, which leans left by highlighting the U.S.
