The New York Times is facing intense backlash for a report focusing on whether Iran will "live up to its fiery rhetoric" and follow through with its vow to "destroy Israel." The Times suggested Iran was at a crossroads, running the headline, "After Years of Vowing to Destroy Israel, Iran Faces a Dilemma." "With Israel bent on crushing Iran’s ally Hamas, Tehran must decide whether it and the proxy militias it arms and trains will live up to its fiery rhetoric," The Times report said Wednesday. Critics bashed The Times' report on social media, accusing the paper of attempting to goad Iran into finishing its goal to annihilate Israel. The New York Times has been under fire for its coverage of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
