The Spin

Anti-Iran narrative

Following continuous attacks on US regional targets, Iran has now crossed a red line with the deaths of US military personnel. The ongoing war in the Middle East may be asymmetrical, but that shouldn't deter Washington from taking more decisive military action — directly or indirectly — against an Iranian regime that's escalating tensions.

Pro-Iran narrative

Given the US role in the raging conflict in the Middle East, it was only a matter of time before American military personnel suffered casualties. Resistance groups in the region have long criticized American hegemony for supporting Israel's atrocities on Palestinians. It's clear that the US is now trying to unilaterally escalate the conflict.
