The Iranian Intelligence Ministry has publicly commended journalists in Iran for their efforts during what it describes as the US-Israeli war of aggression. According to the ministry, these journalists played a crucial role in presenting Iran’s perspective and documenting what it calls the country’s dignified resistance against foreign aggressors.

The ministry’s statement specifically highlighted the importance of media work in shaping public opinion during times of conflict. By acknowledging the journalists’ contributions, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry emphasized the ongoing struggle over narratives between Iran and its adversaries, particularly the United States and Israel.

This recognition comes amid heightened tensions in the region in 2026, where information campaigns and media coverage have become central to both domestic and international perceptions of the conflict. The ministry’s message suggests that the Iranian government views the media as a strategic asset in its broader confrontation with foreign powers.
