The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

Israel's preemptive strikes are essential to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and eliminate the existential threat posed by Tehran's military capabilities. The operation has successfully degraded Iran's missile infrastructure and eliminated key military commanders, demonstrating Israel's commitment to defending itself against a regime that sponsors terrorism across the region.

Pro-Iran narrative

Iran, struck by Israeli terror, has shown remarkable resolve. Its retaliatory missile and drone barrages hit Tel Aviv and Haifa, underscoring its right to self-defense. Iran stands as a regional bulwark against aggression, defending sovereignty and nuclear rights. Why is Israel’s undeclared arsenal tolerated while Iran is punished for civilian nuclear ambitions?

Thecradle.Co

Pro-Trump narrative

Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Under President Donald Trump's America First doctrine, strength and deterrence kept the world safer. Iran refused the deal he offered—a tragic mistake that’s led to needless bloodshed. Under this administration, Israel and Iran will soon come to terms. Trump has a wealth of experience in handling complex diplomatic situations and has successfully de-escalated disputes.

Truth Social

Anti-Trump narrative

Trump is losing faith among even his most ardent supporters — those who voted for his anti-war promises but have now watched him go along with Israel's regime change agenda. Without the consent of his voters, let alone the country writ large, Trump has pushed the American people toward yet another war. If he doesn't stop this war now, he should be impeached.
