Khamenei rep: Revolutionary Guard media needs to be accurate
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's representative to the Revolutionary Guard has said that some media outlets with ties to the armed forces should tread more cautiously in their coverage.
The supreme leader's representative to the Revolutionary Guard Corps is the latest official to comment on criticism by media connected to the Iranian armed forces against the administration of President Hassan Rouhani.
“Whether we want it or not, there are news agencies connected to the Revolutionary Guard,” said Ali Saeedi, representative of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on June 10. “From media such as the Fars News Agency, there are expectations that they observe the required comprehensiveness. Of course, they work with trust and integrity, but it’s possible that sometimes news is published that has [consequences].”
