The split, in one line

Coverage now splits thirteen ways: humanitarian crisis narratives, diplomatic workarounds via Oman, coordinated evacuation protocols, sovereignty claims over Strait administration, competing toll/fee schemes, operational success metrics, Iran's rejection of UN plans, and US-Iran negotiation stalemate, where NBC joins outlets examining fee proposals as diplomatic openings, while Breitbart frames mediation as extortion and CNN emphasizes tactical escalation.
