SAEDNEWS: In a provocative proposal, outspoken Iranian MP Amirhossein Sabati has called on the government’s spokesperson to deliver his next press conference beside the ruins of residential buildings destroyed by Israeli bombardments.
According to Saed News, Iranian parliamentarian Amirhossein Sabeti has stirred political discourse with a striking suggestion aimed at the government’s communication strategy. Writing on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Sabati urged the administration’s spokesperson to hold the next official press briefing “alongside one of the residential buildings demolished by the Zionist regime.”
The proposal, released Monday, implicitly criticized what Sabati perceives as insufficient international media attention to the human cost of Israeli military actions. By staging the press event in the direct aftermath of Israeli strikes, Sabati appears to be advocating for a more visceral and media-savvy display of the conflict’s impact on civilians—likely aiming to sway both domestic and foreign public opinion.
The MP’s statement reflects a broader trend within the Iranian political establishment to foreground civilian suffering as part of its narrative in the escalating regional confrontation. Iran has consistently condemned Israeli strikes across the region, which in recent months have intensified amid ongoing tensions with Tehran-aligned groups.
No formal response has yet been issued by the government spokesperson's office, and it remains unclear whether such a move would gain institutional support. However, Sabati’s call has already ignited widespread debate online and in political circles, with supporters lauding the idea as a bold communications strategy and critics cautioning against the politicization of civilian tragedy.
