The annual speeches of the political leaders at the UN General Assembly are the most visible opportunities for the members of the organization to present their international approach to their global government at the global platform. In this paper, using content analysis methods and analyzing discourse, the text of the speeches of Hassan Rouhani and Donald Tramp at the general assembly of 2017 will be examined in quantitative and qualitative terms and discussed in the context of CMM as one of the ideas of the field of between Cultural communication. The application of this theory in our analysis showed that while Rouhani's speeches were mostly from the "protestor" position, he addressed regional issues and equal relations with Iran-the world; Tramp, adopting a top-down position as the "moderator of the world", depicted a pattern of the state and the nation of America As an action plan for other countries. Also, the use of three interpretive, critical, and applied levels of CMM theory clarified that, firstly, the identity contradictions presented in two speeches deriving from a different global pattern of culture were with each speaker, and secondly, the only solution was to adopt a third way that could have the threatening or objectionable side of the parties In a dignified and equitable manner, to engage in communication, dialogue and engagement, and provide for cross-border communication in the form of transnational organizations

The 10th presidential election in Iran is significant and should be seriouslyexamined not because of a razor-edge margin rivalry between Fundamentalistand Reformist movements, but in the wake of the post-election events andspectrum category between fundamentalists and reformists. In this article, aneffort is stepped up to study and scrutinize notes and news headlines publishedin the best-selling Iranian mainstreams of Keyhan, Ettela’at and Jomhouri-eIslami on the post-election unrests which started from June 13, 2008 [after theannouncement of early result of the election] to July 22, 2009 when the unrestconsiderably abated, by using Practical Discourse Analysis Method (PDAM)Findings show that Ettela’at daily has concentrated on “unacceptability of electionresults”, “Underlining the role of internal and external elements in sparking postelection unrests” and “announcement of annulment of election results. In Jomhouri-eEslami daily, the articles predominantly focused on “The unacceptability of electionresults”, “Underlining the role of internal elements in the aftermath of the presidentialelection” and the “Solutions proposed by Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani at a Friday Prayeraddress to end the post-election political stalemate. Keyhan headlines, however, adopteda U-turn and a distinctive approach where the focal point was put on “Defendingelection results”, “ Linking local and external elements to fomenting unrests” and “Defending a plan put forth by Supreme Leader” to end the post-election unrests.
