Why it matters

Orange dots represent attacks by the US and Israel, green by Iran and its allies.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: The data for the animated map's attack attributions is provided by the NGO Acled.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
