"Journalists in Iran are experiencing an unprecedented level of control, with editorial instructions being passed down from authorities on how coverage should be handled. The situation has become more perilous as wartime conditions have tightened the grip on media."
"Reporters Without Borders reported that journalists in Iran are facing an information blackout while trying to report under dangerous conditions. Access to information has been severely restricted, and many reporters are working under bombardment."
Iran is ranked 177th out of 180 countries in the 2026 World Press Freedom Index, indicating severe repression of press freedom. Wartime conditions due to the US-Israel conflict have intensified the control over media, with journalists reporting increased monitoring and editorial directives from authorities. Access to information is heavily restricted, and many journalists face threats from state-linked institutions. An ongoing internet blackout has further limited the ability to report and share information, exacerbating the already dangerous environment for journalists in Iran.
