April 14, 2026 – Iran/Lebanon –
At least eleven journalists and media workers have been killed in recent weeks during US- and Israeli-linked military strikes across Iran and Lebanon, according to a statement attributed to Iran’s Media Basij Organisation and reported by Press TV, intensifying concerns over the safety of media personnel in active conflict zones.
The report says journalists were among those killed in a series of airstrikes and military operations carried out during the ongoing regional escalation involving Iran, Israel, and allied forces. It alleges that the fatalities occurred across multiple locations in both Iran and Lebanon as strikes targeted a range of military and infrastructure sites.
According to the same account, the victims include reporters and media activists who were either covering events on the ground or present in areas struck during the attacks. The statement does not provide a detailed list of names or specific circumstances surrounding each reported death, but frames the incidents as part of a broader pattern of civilian casualties linked to intensified hostilities.
The allegations come amid a wider escalation in the Iran–Israel conflict, which has also extended into Lebanon, where repeated airstrikes have caused significant civilian displacement and damage to infrastructure. Independent reporting from multiple outlets has documented heavy fighting and frequent strikes in southern and central Lebanon in recent weeks.
Press freedom organisations have repeatedly warned that journalists covering the conflict face heightened risks, particularly in areas where airstrikes and military operations occur with limited warning. Previous incidents in Lebanon and Gaza have also seen media workers killed while reporting from or near strike zones, raising broader questions about compliance with international protections for journalists in conflict situations.
Israeli and US authorities have not publicly responded to the specific claims regarding the reported deaths cited by Press TV in this instance.
The latest report adds to growing international scrutiny over the toll of the conflict on civilians, including members of the media, as the fighting continues to expand across multiple fronts in the region.
