Iran warns media against covering snapback sanctions

Media and online outlets will face action if their reporting on the reimposition of UN sanctions disrupts public morale, Iran's prosecutor general’s office said in a statement carried by Mizan News Agency on Saturday.

"Some websites and channels produced sensitive content about rising prices shortly after the Security Council vote," Mizan added.

"Such reporting could disturb the psychological security of society and would be met with legal measures," the prosecutor’s office said.

The judiciary has repeatedly pursued cases against journalists, outlets, and citizens for comments on sensitive political and economic issues in recent years.
