IRNA
Iranian state
IRNA is Iran's official, government-controlled national news agency, supervised by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. Its coverage consistently reflects Iranian government positions and has characterized U.S.-Iran military conflict as 'unprovoked and illegal aggression.' Given the active U.S.-Iran tensions during the Trump administration's second term, IRNA's coverage of Washington is broadly critical.
