PRESSTV

Press TV, also known as PRESSTV, operates as a 24-hour English-language news and documentary channel. It is linked to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), which is a state-owned entity that functions independently from the Iranian government. IRIB is the only officially recognized broadcaster in Iran, with its head appointed directly by the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is associated with the conservative political faction in the country. The network's main office is located in Tehran, with additional offices and bureaus in various cities globally, such as London, Beirut, Damascus, Kabul, and the Gaza Strip. Press TV promotes itself as a third option, aiming to offer an alternative to what it views as biased Western media and Sunni media connected to radical Islamic groups. However, some critics argue that it serves as a mouthpiece for the Iranian government.
