Full Analysis Summary

Insufficient Source Material

I cannot produce a factual, evidence-based article summarizing the "Iranian Regime Cracks Down on Spreading Nationwide Protests" story because the two source snippets you provided contain no reporting about protests, a crackdown, or related developments.

The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) snippet contains only the single word "interests" and provides no narrative or facts about Iran or protests.

The PressTV snippet contains only brief technical instructions for adding a page to a device home screen and likewise contains no reporting on protests or state actions.

Because the available texts are not about the requested topic, any substantive narrative about a crackdown would require additional sources or the full articles you intended to supply, and I cannot fabricate events or details not present in the provided material.

Coverage Differences

Missed information

AEI (Other) provides no substantive content—only the single word "interests." PressTV (West Asian) contains only technical instructions unrelated to political reporting. Both sources therefore omit the requested topic entirely rather than offering contrasting accounts. I am reporting what the snippets include rather than attributing claims to either outlet.

Need full protest sources

Because the supplied snippets lack any reporting on protests, I cannot apply multiple-source synthesis.

I also cannot identify contradictions about casualty figures, timeline, actors, or government statements.

I cannot reflect differing tones, for example whether a source uses terms like 'crackdown' or 'security operation'.

Doing so would require full articles or additional sources that actually cover Iranian protests and government responses.

If you provide the full texts or links, I will summarize them strictly using their content and will cite each claim to the relevant source text.

Coverage Differences

Ambiguity/Omission

Both provided snippets are omissions with respect to the requested topic. AEI's text is a prompt asking for more material, not analysis. PressTV's text is user-interface instructions. Neither reports on events, so there are no internal contrasts to reconcile or quote-attributions about protests to clarify.

Source type assessment

AEI is labeled Other, and its provided text functions as an editorial or administrative prompt rather than reporting.

PressTV is labeled West Asian, but the provided text is purely technical and not political reporting.

These characteristics show the supplied material is off-topic for the requested article.

Therefore, any contrast among source_type perspectives, for example West Asian versus Western mainstream, cannot be demonstrated because none of the snippets contain relevant reportage to compare.

I explicitly distinguish that these snippets are not quotes about protests but instead represent non-reporting content from their respective outlets.

Coverage Differences

Tone and content omission

AEI (Other) uses an editorial/request tone: the snippet is a request for the full article. PressTV (West Asian) uses a neutral technical/instructional tone about device settings. Neither source offers journalistic content about protests, so the usual differences in narrative, severity, or terminology across source types cannot be illustrated with the provided material.
