Yedioth Ahronoth: Netanyahu-Trump meeting not yet arranged

Six Iranian media outlets simultaneously covered two completely different stories: three outlets (Entekhaab, Khabar-e Fouri, Roydad24, and Newspaper Etemaad) published a report stating that, according to Yedioth Ahronoth (an Israeli newspaper), no arrangements have been made thus far for a meeting between Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump, while two other outlets (Fars and Hamshahri) published a report in which Hojjat-al-Islam Abedini claims that the Supreme Leader has created a belief among Iranians that Iranian children mock American naval vessels.

• Yedioth Ahronoth reported, based on Israeli sources, that currently there are no formal arrangements for holding a meeting between Netanyahu and Trump.
• Hojjat-al-Islam Abedini stated in his remarks that the Supreme Leader has fostered a belief among the people that Iranian children have a mocking attitude toward American naval vessels.. Coverage difference: The outlets Entekhaab, Khabar-e Fouri, Roydad24, and Newspaper Etemaad focused on a report from an Israeli source regarding potential negotiations between the two leaders, while Fars and Hamshahri devoted coverage to a report of remarks by an Iranian official about the cultural and symbolic impact of leadership actions; these two sets of news stories are completely separate in subject matter, source, and context, with no overlap whatsoever.
