Iran International is a Persian-language news channel that launched in 2017, primarily aimed at providing news coverage related to Iran and the broader Middle East region.
It is based in London and broadcasts via satellite, focusing on political, social, and cultural issues, particularly those concerning the Iranian people. The channel provides news, current affairs programs, documentaries, and debates, often discussing topics such as human rights, protests, and the Iranian government’s policies.
Iran International is known for covering topics and perspectives that are often censored or not covered by state-run Iranian media, making it a prominent source for Iranians both inside and outside the country. It has faced criticism and controversy from the Iranian government, which has accused the channel of being influenced by foreign governments or opposition groups. Despite this, it remains a significant news outlet for Persian-speaking audiences.
