美 “이란 핵심 시설 공격”…이란 “공격받으면 새 미국 표적 타격”

Progressive: Progressive-leaning outlets frame the mutual retaliation as measured and limited, portraying both sides as restoring credibility while preserving negotiation channels. They emphasize progress in behind-the-scenes nuclear talks and suggest the escalation could ease tensions as both parties achieve 'face-saving' without triggering full-scale war.

Moderate: Centrist sources treat the escalation as a dangerous new phase threatening the April 8 ceasefire, emphasizing risks of accidental escalation and regional consequences for Gulf security. They balance reporting on international coalition condemnation of Iranian actions with acknowledgment that diplomatic efforts continue despite military tensions.

Conservative: Conservative outlets highlight Trump's stated determination to continue aggressive military attacks and focus on Iran's surprising military resilience—its missile arsenal proving difficult to destroy despite repeated claims of destruction—framing the conflict as primarily a military contest rather than a negotiable dispute.
