The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

Iran and its proxies have for months been attacking Israel, including an attack on Oct. 1 that involved 200 missiles. Israel has a right and a duty to defend itself and that's why it sent this proportional response in the manner that it did.

Pro-Iran narrative

Just as Iran had the right to respond to previous Israeli attacks and violations of territorial sovereignty, Iran stands prepared to send a reciprocal response in retaliation for this latest attack.
