Anadolu Agency⚠resistance axis

Al Jazeera reports that Iran launched missiles at Israel on Sunday after an Israeli strike on a Hezbollah site in southern Beirut. Israel subsequently struck targets in Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, and a petrochemical plant in Mahshahr, with explosions confirmed at multiple sites. Additional supported claims include an Israeli crossing of the Litani River last month and statements from Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and the IRGC.

How different viewpoints frame this

Progressive

Israeli incursions crossing the Litani River and striking Beirut have prolonged occupation, drawing predictable Iranian retaliation and extending the 101-day US-Israel campaign.

“Escalatory pattern prioritizing force over diplomacy, with civilian costs on all sides”

Conservative

Israeli strikes on Iranian military and petrochemical sites are necessary responses to Tehran's missile barrage and Hezbollah proxy threats after ineffective prior ceasefires.

“Israel's right to degrade threats outweighs calls for talks with regimes rejecting its existence”

Libertarian

State militaries and proxies expend civilian infrastructure in pursuit of control, with third-party interventions like US pressure on Beirut strikes manipulating thresholds while populations bear costs.

“Diplomacy preferable to sustained occupation or exchanges that generate their own momentum”

Devil's Advocate

All views adopt Al Jazeera’s timeline uncritically, ignoring internal contradictions on the April 8 ceasefire and treating the 101st-day arc as neutral rather than narrative choice.

“Shared gaps in source scrutiny, dual-use targeting, and Hezbollah's role go unexamined”
