WSJ reporters clashed over the 'disputed' report Iran was involved in Hamas attack
Semafor is reporting that the Wall Street Journal experienced an internal debate over a story that is being "disputed" by intelligence and national security experts. The Journal report claimed that Iran was part of the Hamas attack on Israel, which is now leading to questions about the paper's interest in blowing the trumpet for a war with Iran. "The article cited senior members of Hamas and Iran-backed military group Hezbollah, as well as an adviser to Syria and a European official, who told the paper that Iranian security officials helped plan and ultimately greenlit the attack on Israel," Semafor explained. "And the Journal is currently the only major news organization to report that last week’s attack had a direct link to Iran, though The New York Times published a story on Friday partially confirming the details of the Journal’s report. "Crucially, U.S. officials told the Times and other outlets that intelligence suggests key Iranian leaders were surprised by the Hamas attack," the report continued.
