Iran’s escalation? They’re not the ones that started this! Wtf is with these headlines???

You're not wrong that western media is beyond compromised. But devil's advocate, the headline is "iran war escalation" not "iran's war escalation", though the ambiguity is likely by design.

It's bad wording, but I interpret the headline as "escalation of Iran war". Not blaming Iran for escalating.
