For those who are still under the illusion there is equal coverage of both sides;

Isreal bombing Iran got one front page spot for one day. People "died" passively,

Irans counter attack got the front page for three days straight. And we now see words such as "Attack".

Well, all I could think today when hearing the head of the European Commission (a German, by the way) criticize Iran's attack "in the stronguest terms" and restate her unwavering support of Israel whilst not having said a pip when Israel attacked the Irani Embassy, is that she's doing Russia's work at convincing the Global South that Europe and its allies are two-faced racists that can't be trusted, which will have implications for, amongst other things, the support when it comes to Ukraine (which is globally seen as an European problem).

Way to put the security and even global influence of Europe on the noose for the sake of a supremacist ultra racist country run commiting a mass genocide along etnic lines.

attacks iran

expect them not to retaliate

Of course they expect them to retaliate. That's the entire point. That's why they attacked in the first place. They need Iran to be the boogeyman counterpart in the "help! We're being threatened!" narrative that keeps the extremes in power in both Israel and Iran.
