Iran spent the early hours of Sunday throwing missiles and drones at US bases in Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait, hours after a third round of American strikes this week. That's the event. Now watch RT conjugate it. * RT's headlines this week, in order: "US resumes 'powerful strikes' on Iran after tanker attacks." "US resumes strikes on Iran." "US launches third wave of strikes in Iran." Notice who owns every verb. America launches. America resumes. America strikes. Three headlines, one grammatical subject. * And when Iran finally shows up? "Iran retaliates after US strikes." "Iran says it targeted US base in response to new strikes." On RT, Iran has never initiated anything. It is a country made entirely of reflexes — a knee that the American hammer keeps tapping. * Our favourite phrase in the set: "after tanker attacks." Attacks on tankers... by whom? The headline shrugs. Ships just caught fire out there, apparently. The one link in this chain where Tehran unambiguously acted first arrives with no owner attached — the way a kid reports that "the vase got broken." * Meanwhile over at Fox — Fox! — the headline read "Iran strikes US military facilities across Middle East in retaliation." Iran acting, reason attached, all in one line. When Rupert Murdoch's channel is writing fuller sentences about Tehran's motives than a Kremlin-funded network manages, that's one for the scrapbook. * Euronews pulled the opposite surgery: "Iran launches major missile attacks across the Gulf" — all action, no cause, the American strikes vanished from the headline entirely. So that's your menu this morning: RT deleted the subject, Euronews deleted the reason, and Fox accidentally published a complete thought. * None of these headlines is false. Each one is half a sentence sold as a whole one. Read RT and Euronews together and congratulations — you've assembled one (1) full piece of news.
