This paper discusses how journalists address the nuclear issue in Iran. The last decade of the 20th century has seen the rise of systematic studies of media discourse, particularly resulting from the increasing interest in studying the influence of media on their audience (Fairclough, 1995a & b; van Dijk, 1998; Richardson, 2007). This paper used Qualitative Analysis, At micro level the extracts were analyzed in terms of terminologies dealing with peacefulness and unpeacefulness claims as a strategy of the journalists in order to affect the readers’ views. This paper presented a critical discourse analysis of news texts published by some Iranian and Western online media dealing with the long-running international dispute over Iran’s nuclear program. The study adopts Perrin’s (2012) progression analysis framework to investigate and compare stancing patterns in the corpus in three levels of micro, meso, and macro which lead the public mind towards the direction beneficial to the related powers.
