The framing and wording were largely consistent, with both excerpts quoting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and emphasizing the threat of escalation. The Nation included a slightly more detailed phrasing of the warning, but the core message and emphasis were similar across the coverage."
