The Daily Express headline says Iran threatens '31 US military bases in Europe' and that a map 'shows targets', but the body never gives the number 31. The image is captioned as a Statista map of US bases, not sites Iran named. The headline also drops the condition the body reports, that Rezaei's warning concerned a US attack on Iran, and in its own voice the Express calls the warning a 'horror threat' and 'alarming'.
Headline goes beyond the article
Serious
“Iran threatens to strike 31 US military bases in Europe”
Why this matters
The headline puts a precise number, 31, on the bases Iran threatened and drops the condition the body gives. It turns a warning about a US attack into a flat threat.
The impression it gives
Iran named 31 US bases in Europe as targets and threatened to hit them whatever happens.
The context
Rezaei never gave a number. He said Iran would hit 'distant bases' if the US attacked Iran, and other coverage reports he meant bases involved in a new US attack.
