Iran military spokesman says hostile Persian-language media are military targets

General Abolfazl Shekarchi, the spokesman for Iran's armed forces, said in remarks published on Wednesday that Persian-language media based in the West and sponsored by the Zionist regime and some hostile countries are adversaries of Iran. He stated, "The hostile media are the Zionist and American pawns and they are included in the bank of our military targets."

General Shekarchi referred to the existence of media sponsored by the Global Arrogance (Western powers) and pointed out that "Today, all new tools and sophisticated media technologies are at the disposal of the enemies." He emphasized that despite these challenges, the media of the Islamic Revolution will overcome the enemy because it is under the umbrella of divine providence.

The armed forces spokesman continued, "The bulk of the enemy's media empire is in the possession of the Zionists; Media outlets such as the BBC, Iran International, and Radio Farda are directly related to the Mossad, the CIA, and enemy intelligence organizations, and receive orders and money from them."

According to Mehr News Agency, these remarks were published on Wednesday. The report did not specify any immediate actions to be taken against these media outlets, but the statement underscores the ongoing tensions between Iran and Western-based Persian-language media, which Iran often accuses of spreading propaganda and misinformation.
