This article is not considered a psychological operation. It is straightforward news reporting that describes how Iran has allowed some Iraqi oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz while the waterway remains largely closed, portraying Iraq as a neutral party seeking stable oil exports and suggesting Iran is making exceptions based on political alignment. The article relies on official statements from Iraqi and Iranian sources, with minor framing that subtly favors Iraq’s position by highlighting its non-involvement in regional attacks and Iran’s selective cooperation.
