U.S. embassies have been instructed not to create original content about the Iran war to share publicly and instead are largely limited to reposting approved messaging from the White House or the State Department headquarters online, according to a U.S. diplomat and other documents obtained by POLITICO.

Surely that will help!

It didn’t help that traditional Bahraini media — “whose reporting is heavily controlled by the government” — focused much more on what the Bahraini military did to intercept Iranian drones and missiles “while omitting mention of U.S. support.” Official Bahraini government statements also didn’t acknowledge the equipment and training the U.S. had given the country’s armed forces, the cable states.

Because the Bahraini people are positive their government, but especially the USA, have their best interests at heart!

Still, the cable also notes that such Bahraini neglect to mention the U.S. may have partly stemmed from a “desire to protect and maintain the operational security of U.S. personnel and materiel.”

Indubitably!

Okay I quit. I can’t say any of this without a straight face! 😂😂🤣
