"The regime’s goal is to silence the truth"; Peyman Jebelli’s message after Israel’s attack on Iran’s state broadcaster

Pars Today – The head of Iran’s state media spoke about the Zionist regime’s crimes in attacking the News Network building of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), stating: "Our courageous colleagues will continue to fulfil their duty of reporting until the last moment."

He said: "Our brave colleagues will carry out their duty of informing the public until the very last moment. While this attack by the Zionist regime on Iran may be a new act of aggression, targeting a building that holds no weapons is a clear example of a crime."

The head of state media continued: "When we look at the history of the Zionist regime, we see that journalists and media outlets have always been among its targets. How does a colleague holding a news script pose a threat? Other than conveying the truth? This attack can have no justification. As you know, the Zionist regime has also martyred nearly 300 journalists in Gaza."

Jebelli added: "The goal of this regime is to silence the truth—but it will not succeed. Our colleagues will keep the flag of the national media raised until their last drop of blood. As long as they live, they will not abandon their historic duty. Our responsibility is to articulate the truth."

The head of national media also issued a message, stating: 

In the Name of God

To the noble people of Iran: 

Minutes ago, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) was subjected to a savage attack by the Zionist enemy. This assault demonstrates the deliberate targeting of our national media, striking at the strategic depth of the enemy’s media front.

The brave sons of our great nation in the national media declare with a resounding voice: Our determination to confront the hybrid war launched by the Zionist enemy has multiplied, and no weakness has entered our resolve to defeat the media front of the forces of falsehood."
