Iran’s military warns countries in the region against cooperating with the London-based TV channel Iran International, saying media infrastructure used to support the opposition-linked station would be placed on its list of targets.
“The Zionist International Network, using the satellite capacity and media infrastructure of some countries in the region, is acting to create tension, create false narratives… to help the goals of criminal America and the Zionist regime,” the operational command Khatam Al-Anbiya said in a statement late yesterday, referring to the US and Israel.
“We warn that if you continue to help this evil and satanic network, the elements of cooperation with it will be placed in the bank of targets of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” it added, according to the state television website.
It is not immediately clear where the infrastructure used by the channel in the region is located.
Iran has labelled Iran International a terror organization since 2022 and in recent months has said it is “affiliated with the Zionist regime,” warning that cooperation with the channel would be punishable.
On Sunday, Iranian authorities announced the arrest of at least 18 people accused of sending images and information to the channel.
