What the coverage shows
All three outlets centre on the MI5 chief warning about rising threats from Iran and Russia, and all three treat state pressure on the UK as the core frame. The BBC is the only one to add AI to the headline and extract, while the South China Morning Post singles out alleged Iranian interest in UK military sites and a September plot as not unique. The New York Times alone highlights attacks on Jewish communities as “sickening.”
