About this analysis

Metro reports Donald Trump's Veterans Day claim that America did not start a war with Iran, and sets it directly against the record that the US and Israel began the war with joint strikes on 28 February. The article names who carried out the strikes, gives the Minab school toll with its actor, and attributes Trump's and Iranian officials' claims to them. Nothing in it misleads the reader.

What it gets right

  • “At least 175 people, most of them children, were killed during a US-ordered strike on the Shajarah Tayyebeh school in the southern town of Minab”

    Metro names the actor, the school, the town and who the dead mostly were. It uses the plain word killed.

  • “Donald Trump has casually claimed that America did not start the war with Iran, which has killed thousands of people”

    Metro marks Trump's statement as his claim from the first line and states the human cost of the war plainly.
