SAEDNEWS: During a solidarity visit to IRIB’s iconic glass headquarters on Sunday, U.S. journalists couldn’t resist emulating Iranian reporter Sahar Emami’s defiant stance under Israeli fire—instantly creating a viral moment.
According to Saed News, on the afternoon of Sunday, 29 Tir 1404, a delegation of foreign correspondents toured the glass‑walled studios of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting in Tehran. The visit was arranged to document and amplify a narrative of unity and resilience following recent hostilities. Among the group were several American journalists, whose interactions with their Iranian counterparts were captured in a series of candid photographs.
In one particularly telling snapshot, an American reporter strikingly mimics the pose made famous by Sahar Emami—hands raised defensively, eyes fixed on the sky—as if bracing against an unseen barrage. This spontaneous reenactment occurred beside Emami herself and a small cluster of Iranian colleagues, underscoring both the surreal crossover of war imagery and the rapport forged between domestic and international media figures.
Other images show foreign journalists attentively photographing studio control rooms, sharing notes with Iranian camera operators, and exchanging tense smiles in hallways once rattled by news of an Israeli strike. Saed News’s political desk notes that the entire exercise—captured live on social media—was intended to broadcast Iran’s steadfastness in the face of external threats.
By inviting critics and admirers alike behind the scenes, IRIB has staged a powerful gesture: journalists of differing backgrounds united under one roof, momentarily setting aside geopolitical divides to convey a common story of courage. As these images circulate online, they serve as a reminder that, even amid conflict, the camera can become a bridge between worlds.
