მოლაპარაკებები არ ნიშნავს დანებებას ან უკან დახევას - მასუდ პეზეშკიანი. 

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Unbalanced reporting

Presenting only one side’s perspective without including or acknowledging other relevant viewpoints.

The article only presents President Pezeshkian’s framing: that negotiations do not mean surrender or retreat and that their purpose is to protect the rights of the Iranian people and national interests. No alternative or critical perspectives (e.g., from domestic opposition, international actors, or analysts) are mentioned.

3 suggestions

Add at least brief mention of other perspectives, such as critics who might argue that negotiations could involve concessions or that previous talks have had mixed results.

Clarify that the description of the purpose of negotiations reflects the president’s position, for example: "According to the president, the goal of the negotiations is…"

Include contextual information about the broader debate on negotiations within Iran or internationally, indicating that there are differing views.

Unsubstantiated claims

Presenting claims as fact without evidence or clarification that they are opinions or self-descriptions.

The sentence: "მოლაპარაკებების მიზანია ირანელი ხალხის უფლებების უზრუნველყოფა და ეროვნული ინტერესების დაცვა" ("the goal of the negotiations is to ensure the rights of the Iranian people and protect national interests") is presented as a factual statement, though it is essentially the government’s stated intention and not independently verified.

3 suggestions

Attribute the claim explicitly, e.g.: "According to Iran International, the government states that the goal of the negotiations is…"

Add a qualifier indicating this is the official justification, not an established outcome, e.g.: "The negotiations are presented by officials as aiming to…"

If available, include data or expert analysis that evaluates whether past negotiations have actually advanced citizens’ rights and national interests.

Appeal to emotion

Using emotionally resonant concepts (like national pride or rights) to frame a policy in a positive light without analytical support.

Phrases like "ირანელი ხალხის უფლებების უზრუნველყოფა" (ensuring the rights of the Iranian people) and "ეროვნული ინტერესების მტკიცედ დაცვა" (firm protection of national interests) evoke positive emotional associations with patriotism and justice, framing negotiations as unquestionably beneficial.

3 suggestions

Balance the emotionally positive framing with neutral, descriptive language about what the negotiations concretely involve (topics, parties, possible trade-offs).

Clarify that these are the president’s stated goals, not guaranteed outcomes, e.g.: "He said the aim is…" instead of implying it as an established fact.

Include any known criticisms or concerns (if available) to avoid a one-sided emotional framing, such as worries about potential concessions or lack of transparency.
