Revolutionary Guard issues statement warning that any 'exchange of information', including news reports, seen as benefiting Israel will be punished with the maximum penalty - a death sentence. #EuropeNews
I mean if they really just wanted to make sure military information doesn’t reach Israel they wouldn’t impose the death penalty; the excessive punishment makes it clear this is going to be used to suppress unrelated dissent.
Information flow can never go backwards. There’s plenty of examples of reporters or even social media compromising military operations. In at least a few cases, it has lead to the destruction of military assets. Once broadcast, the damage is done.
Trying to force reporters to think hard about what they are broadcasting is a good thing, from the point of view of national defence.
