Iran FM: Media crucial in countering enemy plots

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi emphasized the crucial role of media in thwarting enemy plots during a meeting with the Administration Information Council at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran.

Araghchi briefed participants on the latest developments in Iran's foreign policy and international relations, including post-war developments following the Islamabad memorandum of understanding to end the war, the US's repeated breaches of its commitments, and its continued military aggression against Iran. He also outlined the Foreign Ministry's diplomatic efforts to safeguard Iran's national interests and the consultations with Oman to establish operational mechanisms for managing maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

Referring to the intensified efforts of the Foreign Ministry to advance the country's supreme interests in line with the guidance of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei and the directives of the Supreme National Security Council, Araghchi described the media sphere as part of the US-Israeli imposed war against Iran.

He said the media plays "a highly pivotal role" in presenting the genuine narrative of the Iranian nation's "sacred defense" against the enemy's savage aggression, as well as in preserving and strengthening national unity and solidarity.

According to Mehr News Agency, these remarks were made in the context of ongoing tensions and the need for a unified media front to counter hostile narratives.
