Iran has extended restrictions on the dissemination of the country’s news content, instructing international media outlets to limit the use of their content by Israeli media outlets.

According to , the directives, sent to several news organizations, came from the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidanceentity that supervises social media activity. “Responsibility for non-compliance with this directive lies with the media outlet that violates it”, stated the instructions.

These restrictions arise three months later that the United States and Israel initiated attacks against Iran, which evolved into a continuous and intensified conflict in the region. President Donald Trump has insisted that a peace deal is close, even though Iran on Tuesday denounced the latest US strikes as a sign of “bad faith and unreliability”.

The text sent to news organizations would also indicate that the content in question cannot be used by Israeli media outlets or television stations in Persian language based outside of Iran.

For years, Iran has banned international media outlets from sharing material with BBC Persian, VOA Persian, Manoto TV and Iran International, under penalty of having their operations closed in the country.

Despite the restrictions, many Persian-language media outlets abroad continue to access images and videos released by Iranian state media outlets through various websites and messaging apps.

A Freedom House organizationbased in Washington, classifies Iran as a country without free and independent media, highlighting that all television channels are controlled by strict sectors within its theocracy and that professionals who work in other media face harassment and arrests.

Satellite dishes are prohibited, although many citizens have them to access foreign channels, while it has been blocked for several weeks.
