"Tehran oil sites on fire as Iran exchanges strikes with Israel and US – video report"

You know, the usual independent and objective framing - its "Iran exchanges strikes", not "Israel and US started a war of aggression amid negotiations and bombed Tehran" or whatever

Earlier today in the NYTimes, this gem of unbiased headlines:

"A U.S. Tomahawk missile hit a naval base beside an Iranian school, video shows."

While in the article:

"A newly released video adds to the evidence that an American missile likely hit an Iranian elementary school where 175 people, many of them children, were reported killed."

So:

"Evidence shows US Tomahawk Missile Killed 175 people after it hits a Iranian elementary school"

Would be more apt.

I don't think that's correct according to the newly published video. Correct me if wrong, but I think it shows a Tomahawk hitting nearby the school, and based on the amount of dust it seems that the school was already hit moments earlier. So it still isn't 100% clear if the school was also hit by a Tomahawk or by something else.

Yeah, an iranian missile must have hit that school minutes before an american Tomahawk landed near that school

I guess it's possible it was hit by an Iranian interceptor rocket. But even if that's the case, US would still share the blame.

It's the Guardian. Not exactly known for it's unbiased and objective reporting.

That’s a large portion of the western media across the gamut.
