Iran says it will strike back only if attacked; Trump says Iran's leaders face being wiped out without a deal, and Hormuz stays shut

Eight reports cover the standoff, and every threat in them comes with a condition. Each outlet puts that condition on the other side. None of them spells out what Iran wants before it reopens the strait.

Iran's Guards Threaten to Hit New Targets if US Attacks

The strait is shut. Arutz Sheva reports that the Strait of Hormuz is closed. In An-Nahar, Qatar's energy minister, Saad al-Kaabi, says gas prices in Europe will keep rising if it stays closed. He puts them at about $160 in oil-equivalent terms.

Every threat comes with a condition.

Outlet Who speaks The threat The condition
Asharq Al-Awsat Revolutionary Guard new targets if the US attacks
Asharq Al-Awsat, citing Reuters Trump Iran fails economically or its leadership is wiped out if it makes no deal
Asharq Al-Awsat, citing Reuters Iranian military harsh retaliation any fresh attack
IRNA (state agency) Army chief Amir Hatami "decisive and regret-inducing response" any aggression
Arutz Sheva Iran the strait stays closed until its demands are met
Arutz Sheva President Pezeshkian will not bow to pressure none stated
Shargh Guard spokesman the war "is not over yet" none in the text we hold

Iran is heard directly. The US is not. 6 of 8 reports carry an Iranian official or military body. Only 1 carries Trump's words, and it paraphrases them in a report about the gold price. Both of our readings of the coverage found this.

What is not settled - What Iran is demanding. Only Arutz Sheva mentions demands. It does not list them or say who set them. Neither IRNA nor Shargh carries them in the text we hold. - Whether the US will strike. Arutz Sheva says only that Trump "weighs military action". - Who struck Ras Laffan in March. An-Nahar does not say.

This story is about a narrow sea lane that Iran has closed, and a standoff over whether Tehran or Washington moves first.

How it got here. In 2015 Iran agreed with world powers to limit its nuclear programme in return for relief from sanctions. In 2018, in his first term, Donald Trump took the United States out of that deal and brought sanctions back. Iran then expanded its uranium enrichment. Tension between Iran and Israel sharpened during the war in Gaza that followed the Hamas-led attacks of 7 October 2023. In June 2025 Israel and Iran fought a short war, and on 22 June the United States bombed Iranian nuclear sites. In September 2025 UN sanctions on Iran were reimposed after Britain, France and Germany triggered the 2015 deal's "snapback" clause.

The reports we hold cover what came next only in part. An-Nahar reports strikes on Qatar's Ras Laffan gas complex in March and does not say who carried them out. Arutz Sheva reports the strait closed. A Revolutionary Guard spokesman tells Shargh the war is not over. None of our reports says when the strait was closed.

The actors. - Iran. President Masoud Pezeshkian leads the elected government. The regular army and the Revolutionary Guard are separate forces, and the Guard answers to the Supreme Leader. - The United States. Trump has been back in office since January 2025. - Qatar. Qatar shares its largest gas field with Iran and ships its liquefied gas out through the strait. An-Nahar calls QatarEnergy the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas. - Europe. Europe buys that gas.

What is at stake. The strait is the only sea route out of the Gulf. Oil and gas from the Gulf states and from Iran pass through it. If it stays shut, Qatar's minister expects European gas prices to keep rising into winter. If the US attacks, Iran's commanders promise a response.

Where it stands. The strait is closed. Iran's commanders say they will act only if attacked. Trump, as Reuters reports him in Asharq Al-Awsat, says Iran must make a deal.

The bias in this coverageBias

Iran's terms, never spelled out

Six reports carry Iranian warnings or vows from the army, the Guards or the president. None lists what Iran demands before the strait reopens. Only one report puts Trump's own warning beside Iran's.

6 reports carrying Iranian warnings or vows 0 reports stating Iran's conditions 1 reports carrying Trump's own words 8 reports held on the event

The closure as a price

Two reports approach the strait through gold and gas prices. In both, the closure is a condition of the market, and no actor is named.

2 reports framed through markets
Scored without the mastheads. Where the two passes differ, both are kept.

Claims and verdicts

true The Strait of Hormuz is currently closed.
Arutz Sheva reports it as closed. In An-Nahar, Qatar's energy minister, Saad al-Kaabi, says gas prices will keep rising if the strait remains closed, so two independent reports treat it as closed.

true Iran's military commanders say any attack on Iran will meet a harsh response.
IRNA quotes army chief Amir Hatami promising a 'decisive' response, and Asharq Al-Awsat reports both the Guards' threat to hit new targets and, citing Reuters, the military's vow to retaliate. Shargh carries a Revolutionary Guard spokesman saying the war 'is not over yet'.

Its headline has the Revolutionary Guard threatening to hit new targets if the US attacks. We hold only the headline.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards on Monday warned they would attack new targets and deploy new weapons if the US launches further attacks on the country. Almost seven months into their war, Tehran and Washington remain locked in a stalemate, though neither side appears willing to return to full-scale war, said AFP. In a statement, a spokesman for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, the ideological arm of Iran's military, said "there will certainly be significant changes in our defense and our counteroffensive" in the event of a new US attack. "We will introduce new weapons with new capabilities
Framing: The headline makes Iran the one threatening. The US strike stays conditional. — “Threaten to Hit New Targets if US Attacks”

The only report with Trump's warning and Iran's in the same sentence, citing Reuters. Spot gold fell 0.3% to $4,362.60 an ounce.
Gold prices slipped on Monday as market participants assessed developments in the Middle East and their implications for inflation and interest rates. Spot gold fell 0.3% to $4,362.60 per ounce by 0417 GMT after hitting a one-week high on Friday. US gold futures were down 0.6% at $4,400.20, Reuters reported. Iran and the United States exchanged new threats, with President ‌Donald Trump ‌warning Iran would fail economically or face its ‌leadership ⁠being wiped out ⁠if it didn't make a deal, and the Iranian military saying it would retaliate harshly to any fresh attack. "The focus remains on geo
Symmetric: Threats are attributed to both governments in one sentence. It is the only report that carries both sides' words. — “Iran and the United States exchanged new threats”
