As the war in the Middle East spreads to the seas, Iranian media attempted to announce developments to the world through social media. Some posts indicate that the flags of Turkey and Pakistan were used to express that the two countries rejected calls to overthrow the Iranian regime.
The effects of the ongoing war between the USA, Israel, and Iran have begun to spread to the seas. Following the attack on the oil storage facility in Tehran, it has been reported that Iran is targeting oil tankers sailing near the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. The attacks in the region are directly affecting both maritime traffic and global oil markets.
IMPACT OF TENSION ON OIL PRICES
Increased attacks around the strategically important Strait of Hormuz have led to unease in energy markets. It is reported that there have been sharp fluctuations in oil prices due to the targeting of tankers.
IRANIAN MEDIA ACTIVE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
As developments are closely monitored by the global public, the Iranian press is also trying to convey the events to both the domestic audience and the international public through social media posts.
EMPHASIS ON TURKEY AND PAKISTAN
Some content shared in the Iranian press also included Turkey. In one post, the flags of Turkey and Pakistan were used side by side with the statement, "Pakistan and Turkey officially reject calls to overthrow the Iranian Islamic regime and call for support for the Iranian people in these difficult times."
