ÄBBC America is an American television network. It is owned by the British Broadcasting Corporation and is available on satellite and cable.
During Operation Epic Fury / Roaring Lion. BBC America, particularly anchor Caitriona Perry, blatantly biased coverage during the ongoing US-Israel war against Islamic Republic regime of Iran.
The network has shown selective silence by avoiding meaningful visuals or reports of damage, injuries, or deaths in Israel from Iranian missile and rocket attacks (including a March 19, 2026, incident where shrapnel hit a Haifa refinery, and the prior day's killing of four Arab Palestinian women by debris).
Instead, it has repeatedly broadcast graphic footage of destruction in Lebanon from Israeli strikes, despite escalating Hezbollah attacks on Israeli civilians since early March.
The brief Haifa refinery clip on March 19 was framed as mere "retaliation" for Israeli hits on Iranian gas facilities, omitting broader context of Iran's unprovoked barrages on Israeli civilians.
In conclusion, this pattern of omission and loaded framing constitutes editorializing rather than objective journalism.[1]
