Iranian Embassy Urges Indian Media to Uphold Journalistic Integrity

The Iranian Embassy in India has issued a firm statement urging Indian media to desist from spreading what it deems as 'fake and fabricated news'. The Embassy has stressed the importance of journalistic integrity and the enhancement of bilateral relations.

The Embassy's statement, released on X through its official handle, highlights concerns about some prominent Indian news outlets publishing unsubstantiated reports that disrespect Iran's leadership. It warned that such reporting could undermine public trust and tarnish media institutions' reputations.

While respecting freedom of expression, the statement called on Indian media to rely on credible sources and avoid sensationalism. Referencing Iran's recent military actions against Israel, the Embassy commended the leadership's role and urged media to support ties between the nations.
