Tehran's residents are adapting to wartime conditions, but the root causes of this conflict, including the region's complex geopolitical dynamics and the ongoing impact of US sanctions, are often overlooked in mainstream coverage. This narrative neglects the historical context of Iran's conflicts, particularly the 1980s war against Iraq, and the ways in which these events have shaped the country's social and economic structures. As a result, the resilience of Tehran's residents is often framed as a personal or spiritual response, rather than a systemic one.
This narrative was produced by The Japan Times, a Japanese newspaper with a global audience, for a Western readership.

This framing also neglects the historical and structural causes of the conflict, perpetuating a simplistic and Orientalist view of the region.
