 Tehran, Iran, Nov. 10 –
Iran’s
Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) dictated the Islamic
Republic’s official stances regarding its nuclear activities to the
country’s state-run press, according to a report on a government-owned
Persian-language website.
Intelligence Minister Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ezhei chaired the briefing session, which was
attended by the heads of Iran’s
various news organisations and a member of the
Supreme National Security Council, the body in charge of Iran’s
nuclear negotiations with the West, the website Aftab
wrote. Aftab belongs to the allies of former
President Ayatollah Ali-Akbar Hashemi
Rafsanjani.
The report said that Mohseni-Ezhei cautioned the
heads of the various news organisations against
publishing “unofficial news” regarding Tehran’s controversial nuclear work.
He told the audience that certain news outlets were publishing articles not
in line with the official position of the Islamic Republic and demanded
that they take appropriate measures to avoid reoccurrences of such
“errors”.
