    Describing this as a ‘new wave of attacks’ makes it sound like it’s unprovoked, which it extremely was not. Which is a weird choice from an Iranian news org.

      “New” just means “additional” after people had already assumed it was over. Really says something about how they are drinking the “Iran is about to collapse” koolaid that they began to feel safe hours after receiving an attack they swore IRGC was too chicken to launch.

        Mehr News is an Iranian news agency sponsored by the government of Iran. It is extremely not main-stream. :P

            Yup, that’s the trend I was gesturing at with my initial comment as well, that it’s weird that a government-sponsored news source would use a headline that echoes that sentiment in Western media.
