The headlines employ contrasting frames: some emphasize diplomatic engagement ('seeks support,' 'ramps up'), while others suggest persuasion/sales language ('selling Trump's Iran deal,' 'worried Gulf'). This creates tension between legitimizing diplomacy and implying the administration must convince skeptical allies.
