How Iran’s State Media Is Portraying the War
Iranians have been cut off from the internet for nearly two weeks, leaving many with little access to outside news. Some say the information they receive inside the country makes it hard to sift facts from propaganda. “When the internet shuts down, it essentially becomes state-run,” one man in Iran said. “We can only access state websites and state news like North Korea.”
TL;DR
- Iranians have been without internet access for nearly two weeks, leading to concerns about state propaganda.
- Hezbollah rockets have targeted central Israel, resulting in damage to homes.
- Israel is conducting counter-attacks against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.
- Team USA has advanced to the World Baseball Classic quarterfinals.
- Chef René Redzepi has resigned from Noma following abuse allegations.
- Iran is utilizing the Strait of Hormuz and attacking oil tankers.
- Shahed drones are a cost-effective but disruptive weapon in the US-Israeli war with Iran.
