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.

    Iirc, the NYTimes did update the Gaza school story as more information became available. And the US government refused to admit for a long time that we had fired on the school, and had done so on purpose. Israel is the reason there's very few living journalists left in Gaza.

    I'm also pretty sure Iran claimed credit for that missile strike on Israel immediately. Just as they have openly attacked wealthy US ally countries in the area, to get them to put pressure on the US, as a counter to the pressure from Israel.
