Indian Media Should Not Compromise Trust, Credibility: Iran On Fake News On Ali Khamenei

Iran Mission in New Delhi condemned a section of Indian media over the reports they carried last week about Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Here is the statement from the Iran Mission in New Delhi:

“Indian media should not compromise the public trust and its professional credibility by disseminating fake and fabricated news.

In recent days, it has been observed that certain Indian news outlets, including some well-known media, have published baseless reports disrespecting Iran and its great leadership. Such irresponsible reporting not only undermines public confidence but also severely damages the professional reputation of these media institutions among their audiences.
While the Embassy fully respects freedom of expression and the public’s right to access information, it strongly urges the Indian media to rely on credible and impartial sources and to refrain from spreading sensationalist and inaccurate content regarding Iran.

The Embassy also recalls that the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, as Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces, successfully guided the military operations during the “twelve-day imposed war” waged by the Zionist regime against Iran, in which the Islamic Republic of Iran was able to inflict a heavy defeat on the Zionist regime by decisive act of self-defence.

The Embassy expects that the Indian media will uphold journalistic integrity, avoid participating in external propaganda efforts, and contribute to strengthening the historical ties of friendship and mutual respect between the peoples of two great civilizational- states.”
