Salehi made the remark in the special ceremony marking the launch of new Spanish TV network, Hispan TV.
Media has the power to shape the world public opinion, a capability that military power lacks, he said.
The only way to confront the arrogant media is to launch new media tasked with promoting ethics and sincerity and adopting unbiased policies and approaches, he said.
TV networks such as Al-alam and Press TV have played a significant role in upholding Iran’s status in the current media struggles, he said.
Salehi delivered his speech in Spanish language to show to what extend Iran attaches importance to Spanish language.
