   Iran attacks US military bases in Jordan after American strike on Larak Island

   Most outlets led with the fact that Iran attacked US military bases in Jordan, describing it as retaliation for the American strike on Larak Island. While most emphasized the retaliatory nature of the attacks and the involvement of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, a few, such as 24 News HD and Daily Pakistan, also mentioned attacks on UAE targets or described the escalation as part of a broader regional war. Some outlets, like Geo News and BOL News, briefly referenced the U.S. operation against Iranian launchers near the Strait of Hormuz. Overall, the framing was consistent in identifying the attacks as a response to the Larak strike, with minor variations in the geographic scope and contextual emphasis.
