Video: IRGC public diplomacy in Jordan

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, in response to Donald Trump’s remarks about Iran’s military capabilities, swore that he would defend “every inch” of Iranian territory. He made the comments in a televised speech and addressed questions about whether the other side had achieved its battlefield objectives and what the actions of those who sought to divide Iran had ultimately accomplished.

• Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian responded on Tuesday to remarks by Donald Trump.
• Trump had claimed that the United States had destroyed much of Iran’s military capabilities.
• In response, Pezeshkian asked whether the other side had achieved its goals on the battlefield.
• He also raised the question of what the actions of those who had decided to divide Iran had ultimately achieved.
• In his televised remarks, Pezeshkian said that “we will defend every inch of our homeland through our actions.”
• The Hamshahri newspaper has covered the topic of “the Revolutionary Guard’s public diplomacy in Jordan.”
• The newspaper referred to the issue in two separate items and asked, “What was the message?”. Coverage difference: Middle East Eye focused on Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s remarks in response to Donald Trump’s comments and his pledge to defend Iranian territory. By contrast, the Hamshahri newspaper covered the topic of “the Revolutionary Guard’s public diplomacy in Jordan” and sought to analyze the message behind the move. The two media outlets addressed entirely different events, with no overlap in the content of their reports.
