Why this is news
⚡ Ground-truth evidence ahead of media — While mainstream news headlines mention 'Iran and US stage new attacks' and 'US strikes increasing in number and hitting farther inside Iran,' they lack specific details or confirmation of Iranian retaliatory drone attacks on US bases or the interception of a US drone, as claimed by the social signal. The news reports the general escalation but not these particular Iranian actions.
