US escalates military presence near Iran, White House urges diplomatic resolution

Original framing: “White House says Iran would be 'wise' to make deal, as US ramps up military presence” — BBC News - World

Structural correction

The original framing omits the structural causes of US-Iran tensions, such as sanctions, regional power dynamics, and the lack of diplomatic engagement. It also neglects the perspectives of regional actors and the potential for de-escalation through multilateral dialogue.
