This is framed as a persistent 'terrorist' narrative, with officials highlighting technical evidence of separate attacks on Putin’s residence (NTV.ru, Lenta.ru). Conversely, independent and international sources emphasize US skepticism of the Kremlin’s claims and rising unrest in Iran (The Moscow Times, Svoboda.org, Kommersant).
