As soon as Iran launched the ninth phase of its retaliatory military operation, True Promise III, late Monday, the ‘Israeli’ regime imposed a sweeping media blackout.
According to reports, live broadcasts from the skies over “Tel Aviv” and Haifa, illuminated by a large barrage of Iranian missiles and drones, were abruptly cut off by regime authorities.
Simultaneously, major Western media outlets, including American broadcaster CNN, halted their live aerial coverage from multiple cities across the “Israeli-“occupied territories.
As the night progressed and Iranian strikes intensified, some livestreams showing the skies over the occupied land on video-streaming and social media platforms such as YouTube and Instagram were rapidly removed, deepening the media blackout.
Inside the occupied territories, the crackdown has escalated in recent days.
“Israeli” media outlets have confirmed the arrest of several domestic and foreign journalists for filming the multiple waves of Iranian retaliatory missile and drone attacks.
The “Israeli” military had previously warned that recording and sharing footage of missile and drone impacts, especially their timing and locations, would be considered “aiding the enemy during wartime.”
Since Friday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) aerospace division has carried out nine phases of Operation True Promise III, targeting sensitive and strategic Israeli sites.
On Monday morning, Iranian missiles specifically struck the Zionist regime’s command and control centers, employing advanced tactics and upgraded intelligence technologies, capabilities the IRGC attributes to the legacy and sacrifices of martyred commanders.
A day earlier, on Sunday, the IRGC announced that it had hit “Israeli” fighter jet fuel production facilities and energy supply lines in a major drone and missile operation on Haifa.
According to military analysts, these precision operations have dealt a significant blow to the regime’s image, exposing vulnerabilities and shattering the myth of its military invincibility, which has prompted it to enact a media blackout.
