==Editorial and Regional Positioning==
==Editorial and Regional Positioning==
The Cairo Review of Global Affairs is published by the American University in Cairo, an institution with strong ties to Western academic and policy circles. While the journal aims to provide a regional voice in global affairs, its editorial line often reflects perspectives aligned with Western and Egyptian policy interests, which may lead to critical portrayals of Iran’s regional role (The Cairo Review of Global Affairs, 2016). From Iran’s viewpoint, this could be seen as a subtle attempt to frame Iran’s policies and actions within a narrative that favors its regional rivals or Western agendas.

==Coverage of Iran and Regional Conflicts==
==Coverage of Iran and Regional Conflicts==
The journal frequently covers Iran’s involvement in regional conflicts, such as in Syria, often emphasizing Iran’s strategic and military influence in ways that may be perceived as negative or threatening by Iranian observers (Abu Layla, 2023). Such framing can be interpreted as part of a broader effort to isolate Iran diplomatically and justify regional countermeasures against it.
