Mehr News Agency
Iranian state
Mehr News Agency is an Iranian semi-official news agency owned and funded by the Islamic Ideology Dissemination Organization, a government organ created to promote the Islamic Republic's values. Its coverage reflects the official positions of the Iranian government and is generally hostile to U.S. foreign policy, particularly the Trump administration's maximum-pressure approach toward Iran. Readers should treat its reporting as reflecting the Iranian state's perspective rather than independent journalism.
