Iranian diaspora and citizen journalism channels shared their morning news broadcasts and user-submitted late-night footage from Tehran.
Early Monday morning on March 16 (25 Esfand), Iranian diaspora and opposition media channels shared updates marking the beginning of the daily news cycle, alongside late-night user-submitted media from the capital.
Iran International, a UK-based opposition network known for its staunch anti-Islamic Republic editorial stance, released the audio version of its morning news bulletin for Monday to its followers.Concurrently, Vahid Online, a prominent independent citizen journalism channel that curates crowdsourced content from within Iran, shared user-generated media documenting overnight activity in the capital. The channel posted a "received video" that was explicitly timestamped by the submitter as capturing events in "#Tehran at 2:50 AM Monday, 25 Esfand."
The source messages contain very little substantive text, consisting only of a generic news podcast announcement and a caption for an attached user-submitted video. The exact contents of the video and the news bulletin are not described in the text provided.
