FM: Media-diplomacy coordination key to Iran’s success
Speaking at a meeting with IRIB chief Peyman Jebelli and the organization’s top managers, Araghchi praised the broadcaster’s “influential” role in supporting the diplomatic apparatus.
He said stronger ties between the country’s media, foreign policy establishment, and military field would ensure “power and progress” for Iran.
The visit came ahead of Iran’s National Journalists’ Day (August 8). During the meeting, IRIB officials shared views on the broadcaster’s role in shaping public understanding of foreign policy issues.
Jebelli called the collaboration between diplomacy and media “vital for maintaining national security and sovereignty,” and said IRIB would continue to play its part.
Araghchi, who also attended the organization’s deputy council session, paid tribute to journalists killed in conflict zones, particularly those who died during Israeli military attacks.
He called their determination to report facts professionally “crucial” to countering disinformation and controlling the narrative.
Referring to what he called a “pivotal chapter” in Iran’s recent history, the 12-day confrontation with Israel, Araghchi said its success stemmed from tight coordination between the battlefield, diplomacy, and the media. “These three worked in tandem, complementing each other,” he said.
The foreign minister thanked Jebelli and his team for standing their ground and helping project Iran’s positions globally. “It was a proud victory,” he added.
