Fars News
IranFars News is an Iranian news agency based in Tehran, founded in 2003 and reported to be affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Its English headlines centre on Iran, followed by the United States and Israel, and are mostly about security and politics, with military and diplomatic topics leading. Its stance reads as strongly favourable toward Iran and consistently hostile toward the United States and Donald Trump.
Political leaning and stance
Across the measured period, the outlet is strongly favourable toward Iran in every month measured, with a celebratory and defiant tone. It foregrounds the Revolutionary Guard and Iranian officials as authoritative voices, uses assertive verbs without distancing, and presents Iranian military actions as justified retaliation. Toward the United States and Donald Trump the stance is consistently hostile and delegitimising in the months measured. Statements hostile to the United States and Israel are echoed approvingly rather than questioned. Stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
