... it could have been a mistake or the weapon could have been knocked off course by Iranian air defenses.

I see it as disproportional coverage, primarily for ratings and gotcha. The Iranian Islamic Republic's theocratic, patriarchal, homophobic mullah regime murdered tens of thousands of Iranian protestersin the last couple of months. They're now openly threatening to do even worse. It does no honor to the dead children at the school to ignore the victims of the regime, past and future. It's just emotional self-indulgence being fed by a ratings chase, imo.
