In an interview with Radio Goftogoo, a media expert noted that media such as BBC, CNN, Fox News, etc. came second in covering the Oman Sea incident and that they failed to respond properly in this case.
Alireza Davoodi referred to an upgraded technique, reflecting the news of the IRGC's confrontation with the American pirates; “There’s a reading in the field and a narrative in the media, and in this case we had an on time field reading. And it was at the right place with the right operation.”
“The media had to reflect the correct narrative using 5 important principles. It was not important to be first-hand here, but to multiply the reading of the field and turn this victory into an undeniable winning card.”
Over this live interview with "En’ekas", he also called the arrest of the British sailors a remarkable measure and stressed that the Americans had never been hit so hard.
Davoodi continued; “The three pillars, namely the force operating in the field, the media with an intelligent coefficient of action and the audience with a high acceptance coefficient should be put together, otherwise nothing will happen to the audience.”
He pointed out that our friends in the operational field formed the operation with a subtlety and on a proper timing; “There was no exaggeration in this field reality; it wasn’t like Star Wars and we didn’t deal with this issue like the Hollywood.”
“In the course of action and presentation, Iran formed a revolutionary and resistance model, and while our media didn’t describe this action as unique, called it a revolutionary action.”
Davoodi mentioned that the story was linked to an ideology by the smart domestic media and increased the acceptance rate by the audience; “The audience was satisfied today and in such a situation will enter the stage of being proud.”
He referred to the words of the former Saudi ambassador to the United States; “He acknowledged that the US withdrawal from Afghanistan has left its allies in strategic confusion.”
“The US is in such a state of confusion, and what a pleasure it is to hit them with such a severe blow,” he added.
Following this interview on Goftogoo Radio, the Iranian media expert pointed to this measure’s impact on the intelligent foreign audience and noted; “The audience watched Iran's authoritarian arms in the axis of Resistance, Iron Dome, Haifa and Tel Aviv, 5 periods of serious war between the Resistance and the Zionists.”
He continued; “Iran had not unveiled this model until today. Even in the case of arresting British soldiers, we didn’t see this model.”
Davoodi explained that action and reaction are features of a symmetrical media battle; “In the field of asymmetric battle, the formula is based on action-action, and there is no reaction.”
With this explanation, he considered the incident in the Oman Sea as far from any reaction and based solely on the actions of Iran, and added; Persian BBC, VOA, Fox News, Al-Jazeera, etc. did not address this issue in the early hours since they were evaluating the reaction, and so they came second because their field of action was among second-rate media.”
**** The Experts Predicted the US Piracy
Leila Vesali considered the media as a serious foundation in the field of politics and in this regard, referring to the triangle of power, economy and media and explained; “The media are usually facilitators of governments in implementing policies in the media dimension, and during wars. The media bring these policies to the fore.”
Vesali then referred to the recent confrontation between the Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and American terrorists; “Analysts believe that the United States has so far turned over its cards one by one, and today it was time for a naval action by them.”
With this explanation, she called such scenarios predetermined and clarified; “This is the only naive perception that the media has no serious role in it.”
In this regard, the US-affiliated media have pre-designed their headlines, and if Iranian oil were looted, the enemy's media controversy would lead to increasing humiliation for the Islamic Republic, and they would cover the news accordingly.”
Today, however, all these media outlets are in complete silence, and according to Vesali, the BBC Persian does not publish anything on this news on its web pages and website. The situation is similar in the Saudi media. Therefore, today, the media acts as the US arm so that the enemy can reach its covetous demands.”
“It is interesting that the United States is also claiming neutrality, and in one post in the BBC we see that they have claimed to be neutral,” the media expert continued. “But when we examine the positions of this media, they all instill in the audience a pessimistic trend against the Islamic Republic.”
Vesali, meanwhile, stressed the role of media literacy in analyzing such news; “The Saudi, American and British media certainly do not consider the interests of our country, and wherever Iran's interests are at stake, they will play a pioneering role.”
