In recent days, the Iranian media has launched an aggressive campaign aimed at presenting achievements in Tehran's secret war against Israel.
Along with articles about extensive cyber hacking of facilities in Israel, they have recently begun to report extensively on accidents and disasters that allegedly occur in the country, implying that this is a deliberate sabotage.
The culmination of the bizarre reports, which occupy a place of honor on Iranian news sites, is an article posted tonight (Tuesday) on the home page of the Tasnim news agency, a media outlet representing the country's universities and considered one of the regime's improved ones.
The report noted that city residents have recently experienced several major power outages and that the cause is a fire that caused damage to power lines in the city.
The website also reported that city residents had complained about a "pungent odor" in the air, and that the mayor had apologized for the situation.
The report itself reflects real events that have indeed taken place in the city, but the electricity supply in the city has been regular over the past day and there is no hint that this is any Iranian operation.
Last week, the news agency claimed that Iranian hackers had managed to break into the Israeli electricity grid and disrupt the power outage.
The National Cyber Warfare Agency claimed that the incident was not and was not created.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
