How This Edition Was Made

Items: everything MEF's Persian press monitor captured from 14 outlets between October 11, 2026 00:00 and 24:00 Tehran time (28 state, 7 non-state). Pairs: topics ranked by how many items they drew across both sides; the top topics with a state item and a non-state item or figure appear. Translation: one model translates, a second translates back into Persian, a third compares; only close matches appear. Items for this edition were captured by the monitor on October 17, 2026. Page built October 20, 2026. Full method.
