How it's being framed
Same facts, different stories. We name the frame instead of pretending neutrality.
Regional spillover frame
"Iranian drones and missiles are disrupting civilian airspace over the Gulf, forcing diversions of passenger flights into Dubai and Sharjah and showing how Tehran's strikes are spilling beyond their intended targets into commercial aviation."
Aviation disruption frame
"A major aviation hub is being knocked off its rhythm in real time, with Flightradar24 data showing holds and reroutes that travelers and airlines will feel as delays cascade through one of the world's busiest transit corridors."
