The Israeli broadcast field was supposed to be sealed to control their propaganda. Well now Iran has started speaking Hebrew and its genius! Right, so Israel built its war on the assumption that nobody inside Israel would ever hear the truth. The Military Censor screens the news before it airs. The broadcast networks stay inside the security frame. The public receives the war through an approved script and we thought our media was bad. Gaza is shown as a target map, not a place where people live. The ICJ ruling naming plausible genocide is not in the nightly bulletins. The UN reporting on starvation is not on the main channels. The collapse of hospitals and neighbourhoods is not presented as fact. The state needs the silence. And so information warfare is about to become the next battlefront. Iran is setting up a Hebrew-language television channel. Not for dialogue. Not for diplomacy. But for entry. And Israel is losing its mind over it. Right, so Iran has approved the establishment of a Hebrew-language television channel. The directive comes through the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, they do have some very on the nose departmental titles don’t they? The council recorded the decision in its policy register. Foreign Minister Masoud Pezeshkian chaired the session, he’s behind this move. Implementation sits with the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, the Iranian state broadcaster. The purpose is to counter the propaganda of the Zionist regime in the media space. The announcement did not include a launch date for this it has to be said, but the network structure already exists. IRIB broadcasts in English through PressTV, in Arabic through Al-Alam, in Spanish through HispanTV. A Hebrew-language station extends a standing broadcast architecture rather than creates a new one, so what they’re planning here is quite feasible. The field it will enter is heavily controlled though. Israel operates a Military Censor with legal authority to review publications. Israeli news organisations submit sensitive material to the censor before publication. Haaretz has documented newsroom procedures. Journalists describe clearance as standard workflow. The censorship is not symbolic. The directives are binding. Material can be blocked or amended before broadcast. The wider media environment is concentrated too. Reporters Without Borders ranks Israel 101st of 180 in its press freedom index. Ownership is clustered among political and commercial elites.
