Escalating State Propaganda in Iran Amidst Ongoing Unrest

Published January 12, 2026, 19:19

Unrest continues in Iran, with the Iranian government intensifying its propaganda efforts, presenting an image of control and proposing negotiations with the United States. At the same time, the flow of information from the protests has decreased due to the disruption of Starlink satellite internet, according to analyst Gavriil Charitos. The Iranian Foreign Ministry announced that the situation is under control, and state television broadcasts images of pro-government demonstrations with the participation of high-ranking officials. A live broadcast featuring representatives of various religions praying for the good of Iran, demonstrating their faith in the government, was particularly noteworthy. In Israel, there is a climate of anticipation for US decisions regarding Iran, while the country remains on alert. Israeli analysts point out that the situation has not yet been resolved despite Tehran's claims.
