Iran's media at war

The war in Iran through the eyes of the Islamic Republic, and how Tehran鈥檚 restrictions on information went full throttle.

The war in Iran through the eyes of the Islamic Republic, and how Tehran鈥檚 restrictions on information went full throttle. In this episode we peek under the bonnet of the machinery that shapes official narratives and controls the media in Iran. And we revisit the turbulent first days of the war as they unfolded on national TV, from the death of Ayatollah Khamenei to the surprise apology by President Pezeshkian and the rise of a new Supreme Leader.
