This article can be challenged with The Jerusalem Post's editorial-standards team.

  • Amend the headline to name the United States as the grammatical agent of the kinetic action, replace the pejorative 'regime' with 'Iran' or 'the Iranian government,' and remove the unqualified 'self-defense' characterisation. A faithful example: 'US strikes targets across Iran in what Washington calls self-defense; explosions reported in Tehran and southern Iran.'
  • Add independent verification caveats to all unconfirmed claims, including the reported deaths of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's defense minister, and IRGC generals, and the characterisation of the attacks as 'the largest-ever aerial attack by the IAF.'
