Iranian state-aligned media channels report that senior executives in the US energy sector are urging the US government to quickly end the ongoing war, citing CNN sources.
Amidst a large-scale war that has resulted in the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz and pushed global oil prices above $120 a barrel, Iranian media is prominently featuring reports of domestic economic pressure within the United States to halt the conflict.
The Iranian state-aligned news aggregator Akharin Khabar highlighted requests from American energy leaders to immediately stop the hostilities. According to the channel, "some senior executives in the energy sector have told US government officials that they want a faster end to the war." The outlet attributed this claim to a report by the US network CNN citing its own sources.
The identical report was actively circulated by the IRGC News Channel (کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران), an outlet affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The amplification of this narrative by state and military-aligned Iranian platforms focuses squarely on highlighting American economic vulnerability and domestic war fatigue while large-scale military operations continue.
The source messages rely on secondary reporting, translating a CNN claim for a domestic Iranian audience. Both channels possess a clear pro-regime bias and their selection of this specific news item emphasizes US domestic pressure and economic vulnerability.
