The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Tehran's false claim that the US is in cahoots with IS is outrageous. No direct evidence supports the court's ruling, which is an obvious attempt to get even following numerous — legitimate — orders passed by US courts over the years that have held Iran accountable for orchestrating terrorist attacks on foreign soil. The US must push back against Iran's subversive activities that attempt to create an anti-American axis across the region and destabilize the global order.

Washington Post

Establishment-critical narrative

While the US may not have directly ordered the 2017 attacks, in an effort to advance its global hegemony, it made conditions in the Middle East ripe for terrorism, as seen in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, where many citizens continue to suffer the consequences of the US' farce War on Terror. The US government must own up to its role in the 2017 attacks and, more importantly, recognize that it's the incubator of terrorism, not the cure.
