• The Shargh newspaper claimed that rain-like missiles were used in the attack on U.S. military positions in Bahrain.
• The Ettemad newspaper claimed that Iranian missiles landed on the positions of the “American enemy” in Bahrain.. Coverage difference: Fars, Rooydad24, Khabar Fori, Akhbar Fori, and the Shargh newspaper emphasized the use of “rain-like” or “barraging” missiles in the attack on U.S. military positions in Bahrain. In contrast, the Ettemad newspaper directly claimed that “Iranian missiles” landed on the positions of the “American enemy” in Bahrain, identifying the source of the attacks and using a loaded term. Fars and Arabic sources also specifically referred to the “most intense missile attacks” on the Sheikh Isa base and the U.S. Fifth Fleet.
