Iran Press/ Asia: The 12th session of the Islamic Conference of Information Ministers under the theme: "Combating Disinformation and Islamophobia in the Post-Truth Era" was held in Istanbul, Türkiye, on October 21-22, 2022, with the participation of the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
On the sidelines of the conference and in response to the question of Iran Press correspondent about the media war of the enemies with the Islamic world and Iran in particular, Mohammad-Mahdi Esmaili said that Islamophobia has created problems for cultural and media interaction in the last two decades.
He stated that the Ministers of Culture and Communication of the Islamic countries are trying to think of a solution to get out of the situation of media threats in the 12th conference.
Esmaili noted that Iran has been exposed to cultural threats for many years and has recently faced a newer issue called "media terrorism." He highlighted that in recent incidents, a foreign media system led by the security services is trying to do what they could not do through physical terrorism via media.
He declared the awareness raising and common atmosphere of cooperation among Islamic countries to deal with media threats and terrorism as the most critical focus of his consultations in Istanbul.
He pointed out that in terms of media, Iran is trying to complete and strengthen the defense and offensive capabilities of Islamic countries and deal with media threats by increasing its internal capacities and the cooperation of cultural and media officials of Islamic countries.
The Ministers of Culture and Communication of 57 member countries of the Islamic Cooperation Organization emphasized forming an atmosphere of cooperation to deal with the cultural invasion and media terrorism against the Islamic world.
