The Samud Fleet and the Language of Counter-Hegemony

*This publication covered Qaani's statements through Tasnim News and Al-Alam, both Iranian state-adjacent outlets. The framing above treats the statements as primary-source evidence of Tehran's rhetorical strategy rather than as factual reports requiring no interpretation — a distinction that matters when the subject is in the business of strategic communication.
