Press TV

Iranian state media

Press TV is an English- and French-language news channel owned and funded by the Iranian state broadcaster IRIB, launched in 2007 to present Iran's perspective to international audiences. It consistently frames U.S., Israeli, and Western policy in an adversarial light while amplifying Iranian government positions. Amid the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict and 2026 sanctions campaign, its coverage of the Trump administration is overwhelmingly critical, portraying U.S. sanctions and military actions as acts of aggression or economic warfare.
