Kayhan is one of the oldest Iranian state media outlets.<\/p>\n
The Center continues its series on Iranian propaganda and its architects. Kayhan plays a key role in promoting the official stance of the Iranian government, amplifying the regime\u2019s anti-Western rhetoric while actively supporting russia and China in opposition to the Western world.<\/p>\n
Kayhan adopts a pro-russian position on the war in Ukraine, frequently justifying russia’s actions by claiming they are a response to “NATO and US aggression” and that the conflict was allegedly provoked by NATO\u2019s expansion toward russia’s borders.<\/p>\n
In particular, the outlet promoted the narrative that “Ukrainians are pawns in a losing game orchestrated by the United States.”<\/p>\n
Kayhan regularly publishes materials accusing the West of prolonging the war by supplying weapons to Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Another key theme is the denial of Iranian arms supplies to russia, including Shahed drones and missiles used by russia to target Ukraine\u2019s civilian infrastructure.<\/p>\n
The media outlet rejects these accusations, calling them “groundless” and part of an information war against Iran and russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
