The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

Israel's decisive military action successfully degraded Iran's nuclear capabilities and eliminated key military commanders who posed an existential threat. The strikes on nuclear facilities and missile production sites delivered a major blow to Iran's weapons program, protecting Israel and regional stability. This necessary pre-emptive action prevented Iran from developing nuclear weapons that would threaten the entire Middle East.

Times of IsraelNew York Post

Pro-Iran narrative

Iran demonstrated heroic resistance against two nuclear-armed regimes and emerged victorious despite facing overwhelming military superiority. The massive funeral turnout shows national unity and resolve in the face of aggression targeting civilian nuclear facilities. Iran's defensive missile response proved its capability to defend itself while maintaining its peaceful nuclear program for civilian purposes.
