Iran’s propaganda: Mehr News Agency
Mehr News Agency is one of Iran’s key media outlets.
The Center continues its series on Iranian propaganda and its creators. Mehr News Agency serves as a state resource, reflecting the government’s stance on international issues.
Regarding the russian-Ukrainian war, Mehr News Agency promotes the following narratives:
▫️ Frames the war as a conflict between russia and NATO’s potential expansion;
▫️ Consistently criticizes the United States and its allies for supplying weapons to Ukraine;
▫️ Labels accusations of Iranian military support for russia as “unfounded” and denies supplying missiles and drones to russia.
Moreover, the agency spreads disinformation about the Ukrainian army, publishing reports of Ukraine’s supposedly significant losses in the war and attempting to discredit the operation in the kursk region.
