How the downing of a passenger aircraft flipped the narrative in Iran. Plus, the reporting of race in Portuguese media.
From mourning Soleimani to protesting against the regime
When a US drone strike killed Iran's most important military figure, General Qassem Soleimani, two weeks ago, it provided Tehran with an opening to rally the Iranian people to back their Islamic leaders against the United States.
For a few days, that seemed to be the case.
Then a passenger plane was shot down over Tehran, and Iran's leaders chose to lie to the public, before finally admitting three days later that they had taken the plane down by mistake.
