The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

Israel had no choice but to strike Iran's nuclear program after intelligence showed Tehran was approaching the "point of no return" in developing nuclear weapons. The targeted operation eliminated key military commanders and nuclear scientists who posed an existential threat to Israeli security. Iran's massive missile response proves exactly why pre-emptive action was necessary to protect Israeli civilians.

Times of Israel

Pro-Iran narrative

Israel's unprovoked aggression against Iranian nuclear facilities and assassination of military leaders represents a clear violation of international law that crossed all red lines. The strikes targeted civilian infrastructure and killed innocent scientists, forcing Iran to defend its sovereignty through legitimate retaliation. America's coordination with Israel in this criminal act makes dialogue meaningless and escalates regional tensions unnecessarily.
