Iran’s propaganda: Wesam Bahrani
Wesam Bahrani is a journalist for an Iranian propaganda channel.
The Center continues its series on Iranian propaganda and its architects. Among them is Wesam Bahrani, an Iranian journalist and editor working for Press TV, an English-language propaganda channel controlled by the Iranian government.
▫️ His materials aim to promote anti-Western and anti-Zionist narratives, often portraying Iran as a pillar of the “resistance movement” in the Middle East. Bahrani also covers topics that reinforce anti-Western rhetoric, focusing on Iranian and regional resistance to U.S. and Israeli policies.
▫️ The journalist has repeatedly stated that the United States is “the greatest enemy of Islam” and has criticized Muslim countries that cooperate with the U.S.
His work in English-language broadcasting indicates Iran’s attempt to spread its ideological influence among audiences critical of the West, particularly the United States and Israel.
