What I Learned Reading Iranian Media
(Jerusalem Post) Zvika Klein - For the past week I've been following Iranian media closely, seeing a warped version of reality. Last week Tasnim pushed speculation that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have been killed or wounded. India Today described posts claiming that Mossad planted doctors and dentists inside Iran and used routine treatment to implant tracking devices in the dental cavities of senior Iranian figures. This would explain how Israeli intelligence has repeatedly seemed to know so much about Iran's leadership circles and movements. A NewsGuard analysis cited by Euronews found at least 18 false war-related claims from Iranian sources in the early phase of the current conflict, along with artificial intelligence (AI)-doctored or misleading visuals used to present fake battlefield victories. Examples include a false Mehr claim that Iranian missiles hit the USS Abraham Lincoln, and a Tasnim-published IRGC claim that 650 U.S. troops had been killed or wounded.
