The war of words between Russia and the United States has escalated following the recent suspected chemical attack on Douma and the Israeli airstrike on the T4 air base in Syria, which left seven Iranians dead. Iranian media are extensively covering and analyzing these developments.

While conservative outlets generally opine that a US military attack on Syria is likely, Reformist media and figures are urging Iranian officials to be cautious in case a war erupts.
