The official has called on the Iranian reporters to introduce and honor those fearless commanders who have strived on the path of domestic development, Bahadori made the remarks at the closing ceremony of the first national Hope Media Cup in Tehran on Saturday.
Media terrorism has inflicted heavy losses on the fighters of Jihad of Clarification, he underscored.
The Islamic Republic has made progress in many fields such as nano-technology, knowledge-based companies, peaceful nuclear energy, and medical sciences, he added.
The First National Hope Media Cup which started today at the Comprehensive University of Islamic Revolution in the capital city will run for two days.
The national festival is to serve as a platform where reporters and photojournalists will cover the news stories and developments taking place within 36 hours in the country.
The enemy’s main plan is to use false publicity, or propaganda, as they call it. The way to overcome propaganda is with “clarification.” Clarifying the truth [must be done] by different people, with different voices, with different interpretations, and using new forms, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said.
“Jihad of clarification must be taken seriously, by everyone, in the seminaries, in the universities, and in particular on radio and television, in the printed media, in all the places where you are, all around you.”
In the face of the foes’ scheme, Ayatollah Khamenei considers it to be the duty of the elite to engage in the jihad of clarification and to nullify the doubts and uncertainties created by the ill-wishers.
