Part of media literacy is going beyond the headlines and looking into why the headlines were written as they were. If the first article were written based only on government statements, it would be the appropriate title. If the second article were also based only on government statements, I would say that it has been inappropriately editorialized.
The situation here could be biases showing, or it could be the very real possibility that the New York Times has sources in Israel that can confirm events, but doesn't have those sources in Iran.
