    But Iran did attack the US back.

    Iran usually attacks US military bases, equipment and personal which are harboured by their vassal states surrounding Iran.

    The USrael usually mass murder school girls, flatten hospitals or call civilians terrorists to excuse their slaughter.

    Also, AP frames it as if the initial attacks stem from Iran towards ships in the Strait of Hormuz, all the while ignoring, that part of the MoU was for Israel to stop the ethnic cleansing and annexation of southern Libanon, which of course they didn’t adhere to.

      Sure no one doubts Iran’s motivation is outrage. So calling their actions as “lashing out” seems appropriate. If they only hit the US back, it would be called a “counter-attack” or something along those lines. Firing rockets at everyone in the neighbourhood is a strategic mistake, obviously emotionally motivated.
