Iran’s propaganda: Tasnim News Agency
Tasnim News Agency is an Iranian propaganda outlet.
The Center continues its series of reports on Iranian propaganda and its architects. One of the prominent disseminators of Iranian state narratives is the Tasnim News Agency.
▫️ Tasnim News Agency is among the most influential media platforms in Iran, closely aligned with the regime, and plays a key role in shaping public discourse on international issues, including the russian-Ukrainian war.
▫️ The agency frequently highlights Iran’s so-called “neutral” stance on the conflict, regularly denying any involvement in supplying military aid, such as drones or missiles, to russia.
At the same time, Tasnim’s reports are laced with strong anti-Western rhetoric, often blaming NATO and Western nations as the “instigators of russia’s war against Ukraine,” mirroring russian propaganda narratives.
▫️ By casting the West as the primary antagonist, Tasnim strengthens an ideological framework that positions Iran and its allies as defenders against Western influence and interference in global affairs.
