Iran has expanded restrictions on distribution of news content from the country, directing international news outlets to restrict use of their content by Israeli media. A directive issued Tuesday to a group of international news outlets based in Tehran specified mandatory language to be included on "all submitted content, including photos, videos, reports, and other media productions". The instructions, which were sent to a number of news organisations including The Associated Press, came from the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, which oversees media activity.
