The story: Iran's missile attack on military and security sites in Israel has garnered much praise in the media at home, with state-affiliated outlets and newspapers celebrating the operation as a success. At the same time, some online critics have ridiculed the apparent minimal casualties, while others have voiced concern over the possibility of all-out war. Iran now braces itself for an Israeli response, which could be stronger than Tel Aviv’s retaliation for the Islamic Republic’s drone and missile attack back in April.

The coverage: The Iranian press and state broadcaster extensively covered and praised the Oct. 1 launch of over 180 ballistic missiles at Israel by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
