Iran says offer, conditions to reopen Strait of Hormuz still on

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center the same broad picture of ship attacks near the Strait of Hormuz and rising oil pressure, but BBC News frames it as a data-led report on a record week of incidents, while The Independent treats it as a wider crisis narrative. BBC says its own Verify analysis of UK maritime agency data shows 12 vessels were struck in a week. The Independent is alone in adding the “new normal” language, mention of oil at $100 a barrel, and commentary about a dangerous limbo.
