Sanj and Damam playing by farewell pilgrims

News agencies reported on the massive presence of mourners in streets surrounding the Prayer Ground, and images and videos of this gathering were published. Iranian officials described this event as having transnational political and social dimensions. IRNA called the ceremony "a political and social event for the entire region."

Coverage difference: Media outlets close to official and revolutionary currents such as IRNA, Fars, IRIB, and Mashriq News emphasized the political, historical, and transnational dimensions of this event and employed laudatory titles, whereas visually-focused coverage such as Jam-e Jam and Akharin Khabar remained primarily focused on the narrative of the mourning atmosphere and popular rituals. No source in this set presented critical perspective, alternative narrative, or independent background information, and all coverage falls within a single aligned narrative spectrum.
