TEHRAN – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) condemned the Israeli regime’s attack on Iran’s state television, stressing that such cowardly and terrorist acts will not silence the truth.
A staffer at the secretariat of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) was martyred and several other staff and several journalists were injured following the Israeli airstrike that targeted one of the state broadcaster’s buildings on Monday evening.
In a statement later on Monday, the IRGC said the bloodthirsty and child-killing Zionist regime, continuing its crimes in the attack on the Islamic Iran, once again displayed the depth of its terror and desperation in the face of truth and enlightenment by committing an overt crime and directly targeting a vital pillar of the resistance’s media front, the building of the IRIB and the studio of the News Network.
“This cowardly and terrorist act was not merely an attack on a media building but a blatant assault on the people’s right to know, the free flow of information, and truth-telling media. This is a media outlet that stands on the frontlines of the cognitive battle, narrating the oppression of the Palestinian people, exposing the relentless crimes of the usurping Zionist regime, and revealing the lies propagated by the Zionist-Western media empire,” the statement said.
“We strongly condemn this criminal and inhumane terrorist act, seeing it as a clear sign of the enemy’s media strategy failing against the awareness-raising and awakening efforts of our national media in recent days, as well as their frustration over the dominance of the resistance narrative in shaping public opinion across the region and the world.”
