Press TV
IranPress TV is an Iranian state-owned English-language news channel, based in Tehran and launched in 2007. Its reporting centres on Iran, the United States and Israel, followed by the Levant, Palestine and the Gulf, with security and politics as the two largest topic areas and a strong military share. Its headlines are favourable toward Iran and hostile toward the United States, Israel and Donald Trump.
Political leaning and stance
Press TV is strongly favourable toward Iran, treating Iranian officials as authoritative and framing Iranian military actions as legitimate responses. It is hostile toward the United States, Israel and Donald Trump, describing US actions as aggression and highlighting American setbacks and isolation, with a period in early summer when the tone toward Trump and the US eased to critical. Palestine and Lebanon read sympathetic, with Hezbollah quoted as an authoritative voice. As a state-owned channel, its stance may reflect official positioning. The stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
