Iran's FM Blasts Fabrication of Realities by Western Media
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi criticized the western media for fabricating the realities and releasing unfounded and biased reports on Iran.
Speaking in a meeting with a group of news directors and editors-in-chief of Kuwaiti media, Salehi stressed that the western media are reflecting unreal and fabricated reports about developments in Iran, which he described as a wrong attitude.
"The mass media plays a vital and key role in reflecting realities and stretching the atmosphere of friendship and brotherly ties among the nations and countries," Salehi stated.
The Iranian minister expressed the hope that the visit to Tehran by the Kuwaiti media people would help boost the friendly and brotherly ties between the two countries.
The western media ignored massive demonstrations and rallies held by hundreds of thousands of people across the country, specially in Tehran, on February 15 and 18 in condemnation of the recent seditionist moves, and rather claimed that anti-government demonstrations were held across Iran on February 20.
The surprising fact is that a number of seditionist groups had called for demonstrations and riots in Tehran on February 20, but no major unrest or demonstration broke out in the city.
Yet, the western media alleged that frenzy was spreading in Tehran.
But eventually and despite the several-day-long ploy and intensive media provocations by the West, the Opposition call for riots and unrests in Tehran failed to attract supporters and calm and everyday life prevailed in the Iranian capital as usual.
An Opposition conglomerate comprising antirevolutionary elements from the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) to monarchist groups and affiliates of the defeated presidential candidates in the June 2009 elections, Mehdi Karroubi and Mir-Hossein Mousavi, had issued an open call for their supporters to stage protests and riots in the Iranian capital on that day, but official and unofficial reports said calm remained undisturbed and intact in the city.
But once again, all the western media ignored the facts on the ground and continued spreading their desires and imaginations to convince the public that Iran's political system is unstable, of course to no avail.
