Briefing: The Gulf States tighten grip on wartime communication

The Gulf States are tightening their grip on communication channels as they face Iranian airstrikes for the first time. This shift is marked by a significant increase in censorship measures.

Authorities are reportedly arresting tourists and journalists who are accused of disseminating information that could incite panic. This includes sharing footage of the damage caused by the airstrikes.

The implications of these measures extend to the operational landscape for media and communication infrastructure in the region, potentially affecting both domestic and international information flows.
