Background

In Islam, Tasnim (تسنیم) is the name of a spring in Paradise from which those nearest to Allah are said to be able to drink. Tasnim's stated goal is to "[defend] the Islamic Republic against negative media propaganda campaigns and provide our readers with realities on the ground about Iran and Islam."[5]

Tasnim is headquarted in Iran's capital Tehran, with reporters across the country and the Middle East.[citation needed]

Tasnim has strong links with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). During a visit to Tasnim's offices in 2023, then-IRGC commander-in-chief Mohammad Ali Jafari stated "The faithful and revolutionary media have today a very heavy duty in confronting anti-Islamic and anti-human plots of the oppressors".[6]
