Iran says: Objective News is like a Bomb

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Thursday February 09, 2006 17:34author by redjade Report this post to the editors

"World War III will be a guerrilla information war, with no division between
military and civilian participation." - Marshall McLuhan

Ahmad Khademolmelleh's Soft War

Managing Director of the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) here Tuesday referred to the significance of media work in the world of today and said that at present Iran is looking for `soldiers for soft war'.

[....] he said, "In the age of communication -- 21st century -- the world conditions have changed on account of the Communication Revolution. Therefore, the tools of invasion have also changed.

"The conditions of the present age are identified by objective-oriented news used as bombers. Their information bombs explode in such a way that all of a sudden Iran's president becomes subject to news invasion and bombardment, which by itself marks the explosion of information and news.'

He referred to IRNA as a basic embankment of news defense. He noted that there is no doubt that a war known as the soft war is currently underway.

"This is a war of thought and they have targeted our thoughts. They believe that if they change the thoughts of the youth, they will also influence their attitude," concluded Khademolmelleh.
