Abolfazl Shekarchi, the spokesman of the Islamic Republic’s armed forces, called Persian-language media abroad “the enemy” and said that people who work in these media can also be placed in a “military targets bank.”

Shekarchi, on 4 Shahrivar 1405, at a ceremony unveiling the foreign pages of Defaparas, without providing any evidence, claimed that media outside Iran are directly connected to the Mossad, the CIA, and other intelligence organizations of hostile countries and receive “coordination and support” from them.

He, claiming that “the center of gravity of the enemy’s media empire lies with the Zionists,” named outlets such as BBC Persian, Iran International, and Radio Farda as part of this group.
