Hostile Farsi-language Western media outlets in Iran’s sights

According to Saednews, General Abolfazl Shekarchi said in remarks published on Wednesday that Persian-language media outlets accused of being sponsored by the Zionist regime and hostile countries are considered adversaries of Iran.

“Hostile media outlets are pawns of the Zionist regime and the United States, and they are included among our military targets,” General Shekarchi said.

Referring to the existence of media outlets sponsored by the Global Arrogance (Western powers), General Shekarchi noted that “today, all new tools and advanced media technologies are at the disposal of the enemies.”

The senior military official also stressed that, despite these challenges, the media of the Islamic Revolution would overcome the enemy because it operates under divine providence.

The Armed Forces spokesman continued, saying, “The majority of the enemy’s media empire is controlled by the Zionists. Media outlets such as the BBC, Iran International, and Radio Farda are directly linked to Mossad, the CIA, and enemy intelligence organizations and receive orders and funding from them.”
