INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
A directive from Iran's Supreme National Security Council orders media outlets not to publish details on civilian infrastructure damage, the scale of destruction, or service disruptions, citing "wartime conditions." Reports must avoid causing public fear or highlighting the enemy's success. For damage and outages, outlets are told to use vague phrases like "under review and troubleshooting." Iran International.
