Iranian Tasnim agency accuses Israeli journalist Barak Ravid of psychological warfare campaign

Iranian state-affiliated Tasnim news agency accused Barak Ravid, Axios correspondent, of being a Unit 8200 operative conducting psychological warfare against Iran through his reporting. Tasnim claimed Ravid's reports on U.S.-Iran negotiations aimed to create a threatening atmosphere around military options and exaggerate urgency for a deal. The agency alleged Ravid falsely reported that Tehran demands removal of U.S. naval blockade as a condition for talks, while Washington seeks nuclear concessions. Tasnim stated that senior Iranian officials say the nuclear issue is not part of current indirect negotiations with the U.S.
