He added that while the US accepted some of Iran's conditions, others were left unclear. Rezaei also stated that Iran is no longer in the process of responding to the Americans. ## Disagreement on mediators While GMA Filipino News and rmf24.pl reported that Qatar and other mediators transmitted messages between Washington and Tehran, vz.ru stated that the Americans tried to communicate with Iran through three channels: Iraq, Pakistan, and Qatar. ## What the coverage left out None of the left-rated, centre-rated, or right-rated reports mention the specific seven conditions Iran presented to the United States for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. ## Who covered it Shares of the 8 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 25% (2) - Centre: 12% (1) - Right: 63% (5) 13 of 21 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.
