It seems blatantly obvious to me the intent of the CNN headline is to paint Iran in a light similar to how Hamas is painted:
"See how nice they are? A religion of peace. They care about civilians and the innocents. How unlike evil aggressive Israel!"
ETA: but to your point, well, yes, the two outlets have different audiences and will have different messages. I think Fox is more likely to be closer to real news and more accurate in this particular case, but definitely is appealing to a pro-Israel audience with a splash of commentating like one would a sports event--hyped.
