The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Friday ordered the Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) to withhold television ratings for news channels for four weeks, amid concerns over sensational coverage of the US–Israel-Iran conflict.

On February 28, the United States and Israel carried out coordinated strikes on multiple locations inside Iran, including Tehran, Isfahan and Karaj.
